Wright, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, believes Solskjaer should consider taking the 28-year-old out of the spotlight.

"If he (Solskjaer) really wants to stamp his mark and let people know he isn't afraid to make decisions, he should take him out," Wright said.

"If the manager explains everything and tells him face to face why he's leaving him out and giving him a break, that's man-management – and that's what Solskjaer has to do.

"He needs to go on holiday and sort his contract out. Sometimes you have to take someone out the firing line.

"He's one of the best goalkeepers in the world and he just needs a break. There's a lot going on and he's under a lot of pressure. When you look at how United are playing at the moment, putting him in that situation is putting him under more pressure.

"He's made three very uncharacteristic mistakes in a short period. To take him out for a very good understudy (Sergio Romero) isn't a bad thing."
