Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer finally confirms rumour he supported Liverpool
13.02.2023 - 19:39 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has finally confirmed rumours that he supported Liverpool as a child.
Solskjaer spent 11 years at Old Trafford as a player, making over 350 appearances, and he earned legendary status throughout that period, during which he won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups and a memorable Champions League in 1999.
The Norwegian began his journey into coaching with the club after retiring as a player and he eventually returned to Manchester in December 2018 to become United's first-team manager, a spell which lasted until he was sacked last season.

Solskjaer oversaw a string of disastrous results at the end of his tenure, but he remains a fan favourite for his playing career, although he's now confirmed a rumour that he supported Liverpool as a child, despite previously denying it.
"I must have been environmentally damaged because when you follow football, we had Match of the Day on every Saturday in Norway and of course, Liverpool were the better team in the 80s," Solskjaer told James Richardson’s Kings of Europe podcast.
"They had Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush and all of those, so yes I followed Liverpool. I was one of the supporters who followed because they won everything, Hard enough to say as a Man United player but they were the better team in the 80s."
Solskjaer confirming his early support of Liverpool comes almost seven years after he denied the rumour to FourFourTwo.
In 2016, when Solskjaer was asked about supporting Liverpool, he said: “You learn as long as you live, that’s the only answer I can give you. I never confirm that one! I’m a Manchester United fan through and through. I bleed red.”
