Man Utd fans fuming with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decision for Liverpool showdown
Manchester United travel to Liverpool for their Premier League showdown on Sunday afternoon.
Liverpool vs Man Utd: Solskjaer ‘we have a chance of winning’
Manchester United fans are fuming with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s decision to start Luke Shaw against Liverpool. The Red Devils seem to be playing a 3-4-1-2 with Shaw playing as a left centre-back.
Youngster Brandon Williams will play on the left side of midfield in front of Shaw.
And United fans are fuming with Solskjaer’s team, with many feeling Shaw shouldn’t be starting against Liverpool.
One fan wrote on Twitter: “Shaw LCB FFS”
Another fumed: “James instead of greenwood and Shaw starting ffs get him gone.”
“Shaw…” another fan simply put.
One United fan added: “Shaw walks straight back into the starting 11 based on what exactly? Smh!”
Shaw, 24, has started eight Premier League games under Solskjaer this time out.
However, Williams has become a fan favourite this time out, with many demanding he gets more game time.
United are fifth in the Premier League, five points behind Chelsea in fourth.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are looking to extend their lead at the top of the table to 16 points.
Jurgen Klopp’s men boast a hefty lead at the top of the table as well as two games in hand on champions Manchester City.
And ahead of Liverpool’s clash against United, Klopp hailed Solskjaer’s side, insisting they will finish in the top four this season.
“United have a really good football team, talented and experienced. There is a lot of good potential on the pitch,” he said.
“I think they will probably qualify for the Champions League this season.
“So, of course they can beat us. But they can only play as good as we let them play.
“If we are at our best it’s difficult for every team. It’s our stadium so we have to make sure everybody knows that.”
