Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hit back at Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp for branding Manchester United boring.
Klopp accused them of being a team that only defends.
“I don't think it's an accusation,” said Solskjaer. “I take it as a compliment, that we've defended so well. When the opposition manager is frustrated, that's a good sign our boys have done well. I think we've been closest to winning both games against Liverpool, so I don't know what the problem has been.”
However, there is a fact, that United front three scored more goals than Liverpool’s trio of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
On the case, Solskjaer said: “
The front three they’ve got have been playing together for ages, seasons now, and you can see the rotation movements, understanding and we hope our front three will get that understanding. I think I’ve only started them together once in Premier League, so we’ve got a way to go to get the understanding but they scored four goals in that game.
“So I believe in ours, gonna add to them, definitely, but in years coming we’ll see lots of them. Liverpool have scored more goals than us outside the front three so not gonna say ours are better or theirs are better. Sunday will be a game by itself.”
Liverpool host United on Sunday, January 19.
