Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must fear he will not survive the international break after two more Premier League managers were fired

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must fear he will not survive the international break after two more Premier League managers were fired this weekend as West Ham ended Liverpool’s 25-match unbeaten run.⁣
⁣
Solskjaer is staring down the barrel after his side’s limp 2-0 defeat to champions Manchester City, which came two weeks after a 5-0 humbling by Liverpool.⁣
⁣
Old Trafford bosses have resisted pulling the trigger despite United’s poor results but Norwich and Aston Villa have acted decisively, sacking Daniel Farke and Dean Smith.⁣
⁣
Elsewhere, West Ham showed they mean business by upsetting Liverpool while Antonio Conte took charge of a Premier League game with new club Tottenham for the first time.⁣
⁣
AFP Sport picks out some of the key talking points from the action in the English top-flight.⁣
⁣
A quarter of Premier League managers have now parted ways with their clubs this season as executives start to get jittery.⁣
⁣
Struggling Aston Villa fired Smith on Sunday, less than 24 hours after Norwich parted ways with Farke, who had just overseen the Canaries’ first win of the season.⁣
⁣
They followed Xisco Munoz (Watford), Steve Bruce (Newcastle) and Nuno Espirito Santo (Tottenham) out of the door.⁣
⁣
Thanks to other results going their way, United are still sixth in the table, just five points adrift of the top four.⁣
⁣
The club’s unpopular American owners have tended to act only when the riches of Champions League football come under threat.⁣
⁣
But the trigger-happy nature of other clubs with far fewer resources means Solskjaer will again be the man under scrutiny during the two-week international break.⁣
⁣
West Ham boss David Moyes strode triumphantly around the London Stadium pitch soaking up the acclaim from jubilant fans after a 3-2 win against Liverpool on Sunday.⁣
⁣
Moyes was written off as a failure at the highest level after lasting less than as season in charge at Manchester United before being sacked in 2014 and it took him a long time to re-establish his reputation.⁣
⁣
But, in his second spell at West Ham, the former Everton boss is setting the record straight.⁣
