If he resigns now he'll be forfeiting the payout from his 3 year £10million/year contract, and will likely be ringing the Molde chairman on Monday for his job back. So I'm not surprised he's choosing to hang on. Wouldn't any of us if we knew our jobs were on the line?

Is pride worth forfeiting a £20million payout? Realistically this will probably be the last big job he gets before he's back at the Norwegian league. I mean I believe him when he says he loves the club, but I don't think he loves it to the extent that he'd forego both the huge financial compensation package and whatever time he has left in the big leagues for the sake of pride. He's still human after all.
Surely he’s done now? They can’t let him continue?
As much as I've been firmly behind Ole and I'm guessing what you would call a 'Ole in'er, he shouldn't need more time with that squad at his disposal. We're now on a par with Arsenal and can't even banter them anymore. 8 pts off the leaders already and we hadn't really played any of the big guns until today, out of 1 cup competition already, criminally under-using the squad at his disposal and just about hanging on in the CL.
Solskjaer has really hit his ceiling. I've no doubt he will be gone before 1 Jan. I think it's time for him to polish up his resume.
I just hope United act decisively and with intent and ambition.

He's never giving up on millions to resign. It's not happening.
No amount of love for the club or pride is worth £10-20m payout.
People need to stop talking about it like it's possible.

I remember last season when a lot of people where giving you stick for your negativity. You then tried to be more positive. What a waste of a week that was
I'm sure he could could to some agreement with United, where he receives some compensation and saves face by resigning. Also I don't think ge's poor
I thought he’s either been told his job is safe or he’s just delusional. Playing dumb would be the best case scenario though.
He's not poor but he's not Jeff Bezos levels of stupid rich either. A £10-20million payout isn't an amount to point your nose at, even for a millionaire like Ole. But you're right - the ideal scenario would be some compromise where he walks with substantial compensation package.
I think he’s made enough money in the last few years as well as throughout his playing career. But by the looks of his body language at the post-game interview, he doesn’t look like a man about to resign.
He can say what he wants. Just look at the dugout at the end. All the players heads were bowed and Carrick and McKenna looked beaten too. It’s over.
He's getting close, lads.
Almost there.
He is turning us into the next Molde. Its close
Close to what?!
He's been here now for nearly 3 years, we've won zero trophies. Been nowhere near challenging for the title. Out in the Champions League group stage last season - chance that happens this season too. After just 9 games in the league, we're already out of the title race and are left to slog it out for 4th place... That's not even mentioning how awful our football is and amateur the tactics are.
Yet, we're close apparently - he talks bollocks.

Aye. He's Molding us.
We are different, unlike ole we don't already have millions in our bank account.
I find it weird that a lot of the people insisting that Ole has done a great job ‘till now and would leave the club in a really good place, are often the same people who regularly say shit like “who else is gonna come in and do better, exactly” or fervently argue against X or Y as not the right ideological fit.
Surely if he’s leaving the club in such a good place… LOADS of fecking people can? Literally anyone better than him, no?

I remember saying Ole is as bad as Arteta. I take back my words. Ole is worse. He would definitely have Arsenal relegated. Baffling how he survived for that long, absolutely terrible manager.
He’s really getting close to that
Remember one time Donnie didnt track his runner as he is defensively suspect. We need legs, desire, energy etc

The solemn social media blitz begins.
In fairness, Klopp would also struggle to have this team press properly at this moment! With Ronaldo back, it's been even harder to implement it. And with Sancho in they have to change from direct counter-attack as style of play. Solution: short term go back to basics. Defend properly. Thats said, i doubt Ole is the one leader for the players to look to through this difficult times. Unfortunately!
It's sickening. Sick of them being all contrite after another shambolic performance. feck off with that nonsense. Everyone knows they're still getting paid Manchester United wages without meeting Manchester United expectations. The least they could do is stop it with all these social media nonsense. Sorry means nothing when it keeps happening over and over again.
I wish we were more ruthless.
He should be sacked immediately the day after the game.
But we won't sack him.
This club is a giant cheerleader for the manager. We need to stop treating the manager as a Messiah-like figure.
It can get worse too.

Yeah it's called mutual consent. Think Bruce left the same way with Newcastle.
I don't want him to leave or be sacked now. For the simple reason The Board will feck it up and get someone like Conte and Ten Hag will go to Barca. Better wait until the season is over. Unless they get someone else to take over as Interim only for end of this season.

Has Mata apologised yet?
Having seen the interview the quotes from it don't tell the story, there was no belief in him, just empty words.
For me, all his words were empty from the start. The United way bollocks he kept repeating week in week out
Agreed. Those weren’t defiant quotes, they were just trotted out because he had to say something.
For all of his qualities such as united man and knows the club, I thought he would resign. If you have the United DNA, you know you don't deserve to continue after a 5-0 rubbing by Liverpool. Show us the United love by resigning. Go ahead Ole ! It's as much as your club as ours, perhaps even more than many of us.
If the thick owners didn’t give him a 3 year contract, and he would have resigned today!
But no way is he walking away from that money!
Ole is stubborn. He's never going to quit.
Watching the post match interview...damn. he's truly lost. Talking about fine margins, "great effort" to keep the score down in the second half. About us not being clinical, what the actual feck.
I don't think this has affected him or the squad the way it should have, Maguire also talked about of bullshit of the classical "not good enough" blabla
I seriously think they see this game just as another bump in the road and nothing else.
