Ole Gunnar Solskjaer responds to Jurgen Klopp's criticism

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has rubbished Jurgen Klopp's criticism. Liverpool boss Klopp took a pointed swipe at United’s negative tactics. Adam Lallana cancelled out Marcus Rashford's opener with a late strike as the Reds claimed a 1-1 draw against the Red Devils at Old Trafford. Klopp has taken just one point in six visits to Old Trafford and was frustrated. “Everybody is happy when United are playing against Liverpool, they think both teams are trying… they are not really trying,” he said, in reference to the home side’s defensive display.  “The quality? We are one team. When United play us, everybody is on their toes.” Solskjaer dismissed those claims and insisted his side did have a positive approach. He said: “We set the team up to attack and be aggressive and create chances and I think we did that." Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live about the way the game unfolded, Solskjaer added: "You can say that it’s a bonus we made them look at tactics. When you get teams doing something different to what they normally do then you know you have executed your plan. But then they still caused us problems in the second half and we struggled with possession and that was why we were tired." The Reds remain unbeaten this season and are six points clear of second-placed Manchester City. United, meanwhile, are in 13th place with 10 points. Join Us on Telegram! Follow Us on Twitter!
