Manchester United are predicted not to win any major silverware under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this season, despite challenging for the Premier League title.
That's according to talkSPORT co-host Simon Jordan, who has insisted that the Norwegian head coach is "not going to win anything this year."
The 53-year-old former Crystal Palace owner explained: "You can't argue with the fact that Man United have beaten another Premier League team 9-0. But it doesn't alter the central theme.
"I don't care about the trolls on Twitter that seem to pop up. I didn't hear a word about what an imbecile I was last week when Sheffield United beat Man United.
"Here they are now again, saying 'Here you go, Jordan, what have you got to say about that?'
"What I've got to say about that is they are second in the league and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not going to win anything this year."
Jordan has been a vocal critic of Solskjaer in the past and claimed the United boss would not "reach the standards that I think Frank Lampard will," despite Lampard later getting the sack at Chelsea.
