Liverpool have had plenty of good memories from games against rivals Manchester United over the years
The United boss took a veiled aim at some members of the club hierarchy in his post-match press conference following a 1-1 draw with Leeds United at Elland Road.

At the end of the game, the away fans loudly chanted ‘Ole’s at the wheel’ as they revelled in their victory and rubbed salt in the wounds for Solskjaer and the United fans as they filtered out of the stadium.
The video went viral and was shared widely with Solskjaer lasting just three more games before he was sacked after a 4-1 loss at Watford. Overall, Solskjaer won just once in seven attempts against Liverpool as United boss, which came in a 3-2 FA Cup fourth round victory in January 2021.
In his other games, he lost three times while drawing the other three - with two of those defeats coming at Old Trafford.
However, despite leaving the club over four years ago - the Norwegian is open to a sensational return.
Solskjaer has been out of managerial work since he was sacked by Turkish club Besiktas back in August. It was his first managerial job since he left his role as United manager in November 2021.
