'Hard enough to say' - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer finally confirms Liverpool rumour Man United fans will hate

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reluctantly confirmed that he used to support Liverpool prior to becoming a club legend at the Reds’ bitter rivals, Manchester United.

The Norwegian was sacked as Red Devils manager last season, just weeks after suffering an embarrassing 5-0 defeat at the hands of Jurgen Klopp’s side at Old Trafford. But while his managerial stint with United was not a success, he remains a club legend having scored the goal that won them the Champions League in 1999, while also lifting six Premier League titles and two FA Cups across 11 years with the club.

Due to such strong allegiances, in the past the 49-year-old has refused to confirm that he used to support Liverpool. However, the former striker has now admitted that he was indeed a boyhood Reds fan.
