Some Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s comments about Jurgen Klopp.

What’s the story?

Earlier today, United boss Solskjaer took a dig at Liverpool manager Klopp.

Solskjaer has said that Klopp complaining about United getting a lot of penalties has resulted in the the Red Devils not getting when they should.

As reported by The Guardian, Klopp said in early January that United had won more penalties in two years than Liverpool had under him in over five seasons.

The Guardian quoted Solskjaer as saying earlier today: “We just have to hope we get what we deserve.

“We should have had three pens in the last two games [versus West Ham, on Sunday and Wednesday].

“There was a certain manager last year who was starting to worry about us getting penalties and after that it seems like the decisions are more difficult to give [to us].

“Surely I’ve seen a big, big difference since then on. But we just have to leave it up to the refs and hope that they will make the right calls very soon.”
