# Man United fans fume as Solskjaer compares himself with Klopp

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer appears to be under huge pressure as Manchester United manager, following a dismal run of form.

If [losing to Liverpool](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51080695) last weekend was excusable, the [2-0 defeat at home to Burnley](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51115604) on Wednesday was unacceptable.

United sit an enormous [33 points behind the Reds](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table)in the Premier League table, with Jurgen Klopp’ side also playing one game fewer, summing up the gulf in quality right now.

For a long time, Solskjaer has had the backing of his own supporters, after all he achieved in his playing days, not least scoring the winning goal in the [1999 Champions League final.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_UEFA_Champions_League_Final)

The tide is clearly starting to turn, however, especially after the woeful nature of the performance against Burnley.

Solskjaer’s latest [comments](https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1220649828444667904?s=20) about Jurgen Klopp haven’t gone down well, with the Norwegian suggesting he deserves more time as manager:

> Solskjær: "For me, we do have a way of doing things, you can see other teams have done well. You can see Jurgen \[Klopp\] spent four years building his team and they’re doing well now." [#mulive](https://twitter.com/hashtag/mulive?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) \[mutv\]

These United fans have reacted angrily to Solskjaer’s remarks, admitting the Liverpool boss is on another level as a manager, and always has been.
