Solskjaer insists Man Utd go to Liverpool as underdogs: A big shock if we win | OneFootball

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists they go to Liverpool on Sunday as underdogs.

United lead the table from Liverpool by three points.

But Solskjaer insists: “It was always the biggest game for teams to play United when I was there.

“That will always be the case against teams who have been successful. Everyone wants to be the champion - and to beat them.

“They have earned the right to be looked up to. We go there with the knowledge we have to play to our best.

“If you look at the last few seasons it would be an upset and be a shock.

“Our position at the moment is product of all our hard work. We deserve to be where we are at the moment, but not many would have thought of another word than an upset if you had said it six weeks ago."

The manager added: "We are a better side now than a year ago.

“We lost that game to a Van Dijk header and a counter-attack on the last attack of the game on our corner.

“We were not a million miles away. That is a missed perception.

“Of course the league position we are competitive. It is a tighter season this year. Last few years have been two teams running away with it by end of October! We are in it at half way."
