Manchester United go into a crucial match against bottom-of-the-table Norwich City at Old Trafford this afternoon, knowing that a defeat would almost certainly bring down the curtain on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's managerial reign.
After Wednesday's humiliating 3-1 home defeat to rivals Manchester City in the EFL semi-final first-leg, and, last weekend, a 0-0 draw at Molineux against Wolves, where United failed to register a single effort on target, the Norwegian will be hoping for some respite - even if it comes in the form of a 1-0 win courtesy of a flukey own goal in added time.
But, as usual, storm clouds are gathering over the northwest.
Harry Maguire is doubtful, after sustaining a hip injury against Wolves.
And Norwich Director of Football, Delia Smith, has vowed to bake a special Hex Cake that will cast a magic spell on the United players.
Solskjaer said:
"Everything is against us! We're the richest club in the world, with what most teams would see as unlimited resources, but we're cack at the moment."
The Canaries are planning a surprise.
