Solskjaer won’t win a Premier League or Champions League with United, says Carragher

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher says Manchester United will not win a Premier League title or Champions League for as long as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in charge.

Meanwhile in the studio, his Sky Sports colleague Gary Neville refused to ‘call out’ his former Manchester United team-mate despite mounting pressure after a run of questionable results and performances.


Carragher gave his view that United will not win a league or European title under Solskjaer and that even if they win a less prestigious trophy this season, the club should move on with a new manager.


“Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has done a really good job as Manchester United manager — and I’m not saying that trying to be clever from a Liverpool point of view,” Carragher said on Monday Night Football.


“What I mean by that is this could have gone horribly wrong for Manchester United. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has come in with experience from Scandinavia and a year at Cardiff. I said this about Frank Lampard: I can’t judge Ole Gunnar Solskjaer against, maybe, [Jose] Mourinho or [Louis] van Gaal, who possibly did average jobs themselves.


“But this will never change: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will not win a league title or Champions League trophy as Manchester United manager. He is not at the level of the other managers — in terms of Jurgen Klopp, Thomas Tuchel or Pep Guardiola. They’ve got years of experience behind them in terms of winning big trophies. Ole hasn’t got that. So, where he’s gotten them right now — he’s done a really good job.


“But this team is a good team. I don’t believe it’s a poor team. I think it’s a great collection of individuals; but — there’s a feeling around that, ‘If Ole wins a trophy this season, he needs to stay; he needs to win a trophy to stay in the job.’

Someone ‘Scammed’ Liverpool Fans Into Thinking Aston Villa Had Made It 3-3, Anfield Went Crazy

 Liverpool fans at Anfield were made to believe that Aston Villa had made it 3-3 against Manchester City, and won Jurgen Klopp's team the Premier League title. It was incredibly tension and drama filled final day of the season in England's top tier on Sunday, as City engineered an incredible comeback against Villa to defend their title. The visiting team at the Etihad really threw the race for top spot wide open as they took a 2-0 lead into the 70th minute, after goals from Matty Cash and Philippe Coutinho. Two goals from substitute Ilkay Gundogan and one from Rodri then put City ahead, whilst Liverpool scored twice late in their game with Wolves to take the lead. With Klopp's side ahead finally, a draw at the Etihad would win them the title, and footage showed that fans were led to believe Steven Gerrard's team had grabbed a third goal, as celebration reverberated around Anfield, only for the real news to be revealed.

 Manchester United return to Premier League action as they welcome Liverpool to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon. Last season, Liverpool ran riot at the Theatre of Dreams and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be tasked with trying to change that this season.  United came from behind against Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday evening, scoring three second half goals to take all three points in the group stage match, which puts them at the top of their group with six points in three matches. Two more wins and avoiding a defeat in the last group stage match should be enough to put United through this season. Liverpool sit in second place in the Premier League ahead of this match with 18 points, four more than United who sit in sixth place with 14 points. That will change before the two sides kick off at the Theatre of Dreams on Sunday afternoon.  United need to find three points in the league after no winning for the past month, beating West Ham United at the London ...

  Harry Maguire, Manchester United captain. Harry Maguire will remain a first-choice player under Erik ten Hag for the upcoming season... Maguire, like many, endured an underwhelming campaign last season. As a result, there has been much speculation about the Englishman’s Manchester United career. The club currently have six senior central defenders at the club and Maguire faces competition from Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelöf, Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, and Axel Tuanzebe. Further questions surfaced after the club had confirmed the signing of Lisandro Martínez. The manager appeared to have put his faith in Maguire last week, in announcing that he will remain as captain of the club. This was met with much objection from social media, but Ten Hag is in the best position to analyse the squad. Despite this objection and the competition for places, Ten Hag has moved to stress that he will remain a first-choice player. Speaking in Melbourne, the manager was pressed on whether Maguire would...
