Solskjaer sends congratulatory message to Liverpool and Klopp, says EPL is a difficult league to win

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Friday congratulated rivals, Liverpool after the Reds were crowned English champions for the first time in 30 years without kicking a ball on Thursday.

This was made possible when Chelsea beat Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.

“First of all, any team that wins the championship and a Premier League deserves it and they deserve credit,” United boss Solskjaer, who won six league titles as a player at Old Trafford, told reporters.

“It’s a hard league to win, so well done to Jurgen (Klopp) and his players.

“For me, every time you see anyone else lift the trophy it hurts. I reckon that’s the feeling everyone associated with Man United — all players, staff and supporters. Of course, we want to get back to winning ways and that’s our challenge.”
