Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reluctantly confirmed he was a Liverpool fan at one stage.

The Norway ex-striker came to United at a young age, developed his game, and went on to become a crucial player as they won the Premier League on countless occasions and the Champions League.

Solskjaer also managed United recently, but was unable to win a trophy with the club at that time.

"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 eighties," 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 eighties."
