The second phase of the English Premier League’s ninth matchday will see Manchester United host Liverpool in a blockbuster clash on Sunday. Touted as one of the biggest rivalries, table-toppers Liverpool will look to better their dismal record at Old Trafford. Ahead of this crunch Premier League match, Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has taken a dig at Liverpool.
“Manchester United will bounce back and win the league,” Solskjaer told the media in the pre-match press conference.
“We might have to wait a while but I’m sure it is not going to be 30 years before the next title,” he said.

He also added that Manchester United will try and go for a win and not play for a draw.
“You never take a draw when you’re at Manchester United, I want to go out there and get three points. We need points and we need to start winning. It doesn’t matter if it’s Liverpool, Manchester City or Brighton and Hove Albion.
“We know we aren’t creating enough chances, we need to be more adventurous. One of my big philosophies is to play attacking football by launching attacks quickly, but to do that you need the confidence to move the ball forward,” he concluded.
