Solskjaer Invites Fergie🙌 to Give Man Utd Players Liverpool Peptalk💬
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said he would welcome Sir Alex Ferguson addressing his Manchester United players ahead of their meeting with Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.
The legendary Scot delivered 13 top-flight titles during a hugely successful period in charge of the club, successfully overtaking Liverpool's tally of 18, with United currently on a total of 20.
Indeed, Ferguson famously stated that his aim when he took over at Old Trafford back in 1986 was to "knock Liverpool right off their f*cking perch" and end the Reds' dominance of English football at the time.
And Solskjaer, who spent 11 years playing under Ferguson and made a total of 366 appearances for the Red Devils, is keen for the 77-year-old to share his wealth of knowledge on the fixture to his current United squad.
"[Sir Alex Ferguson] would be welcome to have his talk to the players if he wanted to, the gaffer, because we know how much it meant for him to overtake Liverpool," he told reporters.
Solskjaer added on facing Jurgen Klopp's men: "I played a few of these myself and know the magnitude of it for the fans everyone who works here, the staff there have been making many comments that this is the big one and it’s our job to be focusing and channelling all that energy into performance mode when we start the game on Sunday.
"It's not about emotions, I understand emotion can be brought into it but we have to stay focused and controlled with some fight in us as well.
