Manchester United vs Liverpool: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer takes shot at rivals' long wait for title

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has taken aim at Liverpool‘s long wait for a title despite Manchester United languishing in the bottom half of the table.

The Reds are top of the Premier League after their perfect start under Jurgen Klopp, but will go at least 30 years since their last league title even with victory this season.

And Solskjaer has warned United will bounce back quicker despite their own seven-year drought.

“I’m sure we will bounce back and win the league and sure it won’t be 30 years until the next Premier League that we do win,” said Solskjaer,

“For this next game, you never take a draw when you’re at Man United. I want to go out there and get three points. We need to start winning games, it doesn’t matter if you’re playing Liverpool, Manchester City or Brighton.

“A good performance and result can change the players’ and mood and perception of themselves.

“Maybe they haven’t believed they are good enough and when you lack confidence you think twice instead of acting on instinct. Because I know these players are good enough, no worries about that.”

Victory for the Reds at Old Trafford on Sunday will take their lead back to eight points after Manchester City’s win over Crystal Palace yesterday.
