Solskjaer Warns Liverpool It Will Be Difficult To Dominate Like Ferguson’s Utd

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits it hurts to see Liverpool lift the title after 30 years but believes it will be difficult for Manchester United’s arch rivals to dominate as Sir Alex Ferguson’s side did.

Solskjaer offered his congratulations to Jurgen Klopp and his players after Manchester City’s defeat at Chelsea on Thursday night confirmed Liverpool as champions.

He said: ‘First of all, any team that wins the championship and a Premier League deserve it and deserve credit. It’s a hard league to win, so well done to Jurgen and his players.

Every time you see anyone else lift the trophy it hurts. I reckon that’s the feeling everyone associated with Man United, players supporters, we want to get back to winning ways and that’s our challenge.’

United went 26 years without a league title before winning it 13 times 20 years under Ferguson, and Solskajer doesn’t expect Liverpool to dominate in the same way.

‘The run of titles we won under Sir Alex isn’t going be easy for anyone to emulate,’ he added. ‘Sir Alex was a master of staying at the top.

‘Our challenge is to make sure we don’t go 26 years until the next time we win it or more, we’re going to do everything we can to shorten the distance or go past them.

‘I don’t think it’s time to say how far we’re behind. We are in a position now we have to improve. One, we have to get in the Champions League, higher up in the league, start challenging, that consistency and efficiency is a challenge.

‘At our best we are very good, we have to do that whatever day it is – Saturday, Tuesday, Wednesday – do it again and again, that’s the challenge for our players going forward.’
