For previous Manchester United managers, losing to Liverpool was a watershed event, and this was the lowest point for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Under his leadership, United have no identity, no clue, and no chance.
This had the same feel as David Moyes’ 3-0 loss to Liverpool at home in 2014, only worse.
The mood was rebellious seven and a half years ago, but it turned toxic this time.
At 2-0, several United supporters began to boo. After the third goal, thousands of fans left the stadium, and many did not return.
They missed a fourth goal with halftime yet to play.
There was no going back for the United boss, and there will be no going back for him.
Many United fans rallied in the dying minutes, buoyed by Liverpool’s generosity – despite Paul Pogba’s dismissal for a two-footed lunge on Naby Keita, they did not score in the final 40 minutes.
There were no paeans to Solskjaer among the chants they performed.
Solskjaer has always been a stopgap manager, and United must end his reign.
He is incapable of competing against exceptional coaches.
United fans couldn’t decide whether to celebrate or jeer.
They would never deliberately target Solskjaer, who has done so much for the club, and instead chose to focus on the plodding midfielder, Harry Maguire.
It’s easy to point the finger at individual players after a loss like this, and the search for a scapegoat begins.
After a transformative summer in which United signed three major players, there can be no more excuses about transfer failures.
When there was no need for the club to rush into such a decision, Solskjaer was backed heavily in the summer with the players he wanted and a new long-term contract.
Despite such significant investment, United has deteriorated and is now a club in complete chaos as a season of promise fades before we even reach the winter months.
