Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists the job is not too big for him.

United go into Sunday's encounter in 12 place, 15 points behind Premier League leaders and arch rivals Liverpool , and just two points above the relegation zone.

"No, I've never felt it's too big for me," said Solskjaer. “I'm confident in what we're trying to do and with my staff, I've been so impressed.

“Michael [Carrick], Kieran [McKenna], the coaching and improvement is there to see, but we need to start winning games, start scoring goals.

“We need to create more chances, because at the back we've looked solid, but we haven't been adventurous enough, taken enough risks.

“The best teams around take more risks, do more runs and maybe the boys, when they lose confidence, they play safe and it's my duty to say it's not safety."
