Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer watches on during his side’s Premier League clash with Fulham on February 9, 2019.
It was a match against Liverpool just over two months ago which brought an end to Jose Mourinho’s ill-fated Manchester United reign and ushered in the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer era.The scale of the turnaround has been seismic, and while the initial upturn may have been as much down to Mourinho’s cloud being lifted as Solskjaer’s appointment, the continuation of their good form can only be attributed to the interim boss.
Liverpool game in hand leaves them still in charge of their own fate, but with City in EFL Cup final action this weekend a defeat for Liverpool at Old Trafford would swing the title race back firmly in favour of the champions.One of Klopp’s main jobs during the run-in is to keep his side firmly focused on that reality; a point at Old Trafford – where Liverpool have not won since their last title challenge in 2013-14 – is never a bad result, particularly when they are the last of the top six sides to face away from home this season.
