Man Utd: Solskjaer praises Anthony Martial after Sheffield win
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has spoken out ahead of his side’s FA Cup clash with Norwich City on Saturday. The Red Devils are trying to win the competition for the first time since 2016, when Louis van Gaal ruled the Old Trafford roost. Express Sport will now take a look at the four standout tidbits Solskjaer gave out ahead of the match at Carrow Road.
Solskjaer has warned Liverpool they won’t be able to dominate the Premier League like Manchester United did under Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Reds have been crowned champions after Chelsea beat Manchester City 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night.
And Solskjaer said: “The run of titles that we won under Sir Alex, I don’t think that’s going to be easy for anyone to emulate.
“Sir Alex was a master of staying at the top so, for me, our challenge is to make sure we don’t go, say, 26 years until the next time we win it or more.
“We’re going to do everything we can to shorten the distance or even go past them.”

The United manager has hinted he’ll make changes for Saturday’s trip to Norwich - fully aware there’s many games of the season left to play.
“It's the situation we're in, and circumstances,” he said.
“Of course we're playing so many games in a short space of time, and it's great seeing the players being in good form.
“I know that we've got so many others wanting to play as well, so there will have to be a few changes, because there's a game again on Tuesday and then Saturday.
“That's the pleasure of being a manager: when to give players a chance and when to give players a rest. Because we are still early on in this restart period, and it's going to be a long period.
“Hopefully it'll end on 21 August [the day of the Europa League final], so we're going to have many games ahead of us. But we're solely focused on this one now. The FA Cup is a great tournament, and we've started the preparations.”
