# Liverpool fans are delighted as Solskjaer receives vote of confidence

Manchester United suffered another dismal day at the office on Wednesday, [losing 2-0 at home to Burnley](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51115604).

Liverpool’s bitter rivals continue to struggle under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and they are now [30 points behind the Reds](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) in the table.

Over the past 10-and-a-half months, Liverpool have dropped just two points in the league, whereas United have dropped 57.

For Reds supporters who grew up watching their adversaries dominate English football, this is a sweet moment, as they stand on the brink of becoming champions for the first time since 1990.

Solskjaer finds himself under increasing pressure to save his job, following his latest defeat.

The Norwegian has received a vote of confidence, however, with [https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews/status/1220286467378991105?s=20](https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews/status/1220286467378991105?s=20)*[Sky Sports News](https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews/status/1220286467378991105?s=20)* confirming that he has ‘retained the support’ of the club’s board:
