Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could not resist a sly dig at Liverpool ahead of their clash with Manchester United on Sunday, reminding the Premier League leaders of their 30-year wait to be crowned champions.

Struggling United trail their fierce rivals by 15 points but Solskjaer is keen to remind those connected with the Anfield club of one big element in United's favour.

"I am sure we will bounce back and win the league," Solskjaer said.

"I am sure it will not be 30 years until our next Premier League."
"Maybe they have not really believed they are good enough at times. With a lack of confidence, you think twice instead of acting on instinct. But I know these players are good enough. I have no worries about that."
- Counter-attack -
==================
"Maybe it's because young players want to play safe. But you want to take risks at this club, you can't play safe."
"My philosophy is you defend because you want to win the ball in great positions to attack from. That's the next bit we have to get."
