Man Utd boss Solskjaer: Hurts seeing Liverpool lift Prem title

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits it's tough seeing Liverpool win the Premier League title.

It ends Liverpool's 30-year wait for a 19th league title, during which time they have been outstripped by United, who have claimed 13 Premier League crowns for themselves in the intervening period.

“Any team that wins the championship or Premier League deserve it and deserve credit. It's a hard league to win so well done to Jurgen and his players," he said.

“Every time you see anyone else lift the trophy it hurts, I reckon that's the feeling everyone associated with Manchester United, players or supporters.

“We want to get back to winning ways and that's our challenge.

“We are in a position now we have to improve, one we have to get in the Champions League, higher up in the league and start challenging.

“To get that consistency and efficiency is the challenge.

“At our best we are very good, but we have to do that whatever day it is, do it again and again, that's the challenge for our players going forward."
