Man Utd ‘need to win’ the league says Darren Fletcher
Former Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher has warned Ole Gunnar Solskjaer he must avoid a lengthy league title drought like Liverpool, who last won the top division in 1990.
Jurgen Klopp has built a side which are on course to end the 30-year drought on Merseyside.
Liverpool are 25 points clear at the top of the table and can wrap up the title against Crystal Palace on March 21.
Meanwhile, United have not been crowned Premier League champions since Sir Alex Ferguson left in 2013.
And Fletcher, a serial winner who claimed five titles during a 12-year spell at Old Trafford, has warned Solskjaer he must end their barren drought sooner rather than later.
“Manchester United cannot allow that. The current run is bad enough as it is,” Fletcher told beIN SPORTS.

“We need to see Manchester United winning the league in the next two or three years down the line.
“That’s being realistic. The bar has been raised in terms of what it takes to win the league.”
United have had an upturn in form in recent months and a 2-0 derby win over Manchester City on Sunday extended their unbeaten run to 10 matches.
A push for the Champions League places is now on but Fletcher wants the Red Devils to be thinking of more than that.
