Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted it was painful to see Liverpool getting crowned as League champions.
Liverpool were crowned English Champions for the first time yesterday, courtesy of Chelsea winning against City 2-1 at Stamford Bridge. Their wait of 30 years was finally over and Solskjaer said it should be very hurting for United to see their fiercest rivals getting away with the league title. But at the same time, Ole congratulated Klopp and his men and said they deserve to win the league.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, he said," Any team that wins the Premier League deserves it. It is a hard league to win. Credit to Juergen Klopp and his players. But every time you see anyone else lift a trophy, it hurts. That's the feeling everyone associated with Man Utd. We want to get back to winning ways. That is our challenge.
Solskjaer believes that it will be very difficult for Klopp or any other manager to replicate the enormous successes that Sir Alex Ferguson achieved over the years at United. He's also determined to narrow the gap between Utd and Liverpool.
" The run of titles under Sir Alex Ferguson will not easy for anyone to copy, he was a master of staying at the top. Our challenge is to make sure it is not 26 years or more before we win it. We will do everything we can to shorten the distance or go past them."
Indeed, it hurts a lot to see Liverpool with the league title, but they deserve it and once again, a big congratulations to Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp on winning the league title. We won't mind if you take another 30 years to win another. Getting back to United, we are doing well gradually getting back to that level and we can end the season on a high ourselves by clinching the FA Cup and the Europa League.
