Several reports in the UK media suggest that the Norwegian coach could be sacked if United fail to beat Everton in the Premier League next weekend.
However, that process could be accelerated after a weird defensive performance against the reigning Turkish champions.
One of the worst defensive moves you will ever see – including amateur football – gave Basaksehir an early lead as former Premier League striker Demba Ba had the entire half of the field to himself to run onto and past the ball run United goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
It didn’t get much better from then on when Deniz Turuc grabbed Juan Mata’s bag and put the ball on a plate so Edin Visca could double the lead.
Anthony Martial pulled back a goal just before half-time, but a stale and uninspired performance in the second half meant United couldn’t find an equalizer.
The Champions League has given Manchester United some break from their Premier League troubles in recent weeks, but for the first time this season his poor domestic form has trickled into Europe.
United are in a low 15th place in the Premier League with only wins from their first six games after losing 1-0 to Arsenal on Sunday.
But impressive Champions League victories against last season’s defeated finalist Paris Saint-Germain and German club RB Leipzig have made Solskjaer a lifeline.
However, should the 47-year-old become unemployed, as is becoming increasingly likely, it is unlikely that one new manager would be enough to turn the club around.
United have problems that go deep; There is one owner in the Glazer family who has run into a lot of debt. and in Ed Woodward, it has an executive director who has spent huge sums of money on a roster that lags light years behind its rivals.
Solskjaer’s reign was more curious than most. Just when it looks like his job is at stake and the team has stopped playing for him, his players will do the same as they did against Newcastle, PSG and Leipzig.
But when they lost to Basaksehir, there wasn’t even a hint that the team was playing for their manager.
Solskjaer may still be in the job as United travel to Everton on Sunday but one more loss could likely mark the end of his tenure.
