Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has stoked their rivalry with Liverpool ahead of Sunday's showdown.

The United boss has come out fighting on the eve of their big clash with Liverpool – and said their time in the title wilderness won't be as long as their Anfield rivals, who last won in 1989/1990.

Solskjaer defiantly said: “I'm sure we will bounce back and win the league – and I'm sure it won't be 30 years until we do that again."

However, United have their backs to the wall after a dismal start, which has reaped a mere nine points from a possible total of 24.

The manager also said: “You never take a draw when you're at Man United, you just don't. I want to go out there and get three points," he said.

“We need points – it doesn't matter if it's Liverpool, Manchester City or Brighton . We want to win games. We need to start winning games.

“A win can turn the season around definitely, that's another point around this match.

“A good performance and result can change players' confidence, players' mood, players' perception of what is good."
