It was a dreadful night for Man United and Solskjaer at the Molineux

But he wasnt smiling on Tuesday night, as United suffered their third defeat in four matches with a 2-1 loss against Wolves.The result is a huge blow the clubs top four hopes, which Solskjaer had resurrected after overseeing a remarkable turnaround in form. Now, though, the wheels appear to have come off.And Burnley believes the Premier League giants have made a big mistake.The decision to give Solskjaer the job full-time, I think its a crazy, crazy decision, particularly now before the end of the season, he told The Sports Bar on Tuesday night.Im not just saying this now after that game, because Ive said it before. Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world and, on the evidence of what weve seen recently, they need a massive rebuilding job to be fighting back with Liverpool and Man City.To give the job to someone who is so inexperienced, with a so-so managerial record become he arrived, thats not got long-term strategy written all over it to me, thats got sentimental claptrap to appease fans written all over it.Manchester United have got shareholders and should have a longer-term, more clinical view of what the strategy is, rather than, Oh, Ole has done greatHe has done great. Hes picked them off the floor. They were so miserable and when he came in they were happy and they started playing better, but the air has started coming out of the balloon and thats the concern.Listen back to Craig Burley on The Sports Bar IN FULL above!
