The pressure is mounting on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United.

Thursday's 0-0 draw to AZ Alkmaar once again saw the Red Devils fail to win away from home, extending the barren run to 10 games.

Not since March 6, when they beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 in the Champions League Round of 16, have they won on the road.

United have the chance to change their fortunes when they travel to St James' Park to face Newcastle on Sunday and for Solskjaer, victory is absolutely essential.

Doubts are beginning to creep in over the 46-year-old's future and whether he's good enough to turn things around at United.

Should they lose to Newcastle, who are currently 19th in the Premier League, Solskjaer could face the same fate as David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho.

There's reason to believe Solskjaer is feeling the heat, too, after he seemingly deactivated his Twitter account.

Solskjaer was never particularly active on the social media platform, but before he deactivated his account he sent a private message to United fan account @utdarena.

In response to receiving some support, Solskjaer said: "Hi Sam. Thanks for your message. I'm glad someone can see progress, we do. And the attacking will come."

UtdArena has since taken down Solskaer's final message, explaining in a new tweet: "I just told him that I understood the project he was building and mentioned a few of the parts that were good.

"I acknowledged that times were tough and said with more signings and continued training I am sure he will bring us back. Then I wished him well.

"I remember him referencing a post I made on pressing rates and his first game against Cardiff being the second best performance in the Premier League last season.

"He mentioned it in pre-season so I had a feeling he saw it as I knew he followed me. I sent a message and was glad he replied."

"I have deleted the tweets regarding Solskjaer's message. It was merely to show you that he recognised how United have struggled offensively as some believed he was ignorant or unaware about it."

Whether Solskjaer actually deactivated his account because of the abuse he's received is unknown, but it's certainly plausible.

Maybe United fans should get behind the Norwegian, rather than get on his back.
