Micah Richards admits he feels sorry for Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, slamming his side as 'a team of individuals'.

Sportsmail understands the Norwegian is fighting to save his job, with sources offering him only lukewarm support on Monday night, more than 24 hours after the humiliating 5-0 defeat by Liverpool.

The former striker is currently in his third full season as United boss, but inconsistency has resulted in them sitting seventh in the Premier League, eight points behind leaders Chelsea.
