Days after Liverpool’s 5-0 win over Manchester United, the away fans were still enjoying that historic and memorable win at Old Trafford.
Liverpool beat Preston 2-0 in the League Cup at Deepdale on Wednesday night, but it didn’t go without the away fans ‘rubbing it in’ on Man United’s under-fire boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, according to BBC commentator Ian Dennis.
During Sunday’s game, chants of ‘Ole’s at the wheel’ could be heard by the Liverpool faithful, and rightly so given how they were all over their rivals on that quite unforgettable afternoon at Old Trafford.
It’s something that those in Man United colours will have to deal with, until they get their own revenge on Liverpool, or at least, Solskjaer is not in the dugout and is sacked.
Those words uttered by Rio Ferdinand in 2019, when Man United knocked PSG out of the Champions League with Ole still in interim charge, that ‘Ole’s at the wheel, are comments that will haunt him forever.
It’s clearly something that supporters, especially Man United’s rivals, are going to use to banter them with – and they are doing so.
Well, during his commentary stint for BBC Radio 5 Live Sport, Ian Dennis, spoke about the ‘quite deafening’ chants about Ole from the away end.
“The chant of Ole’s at the wheel is quite deafening from the Liverpool supporters,” said Dennis.
“Still revelling in that astonishing victory at Old Trafford. And still rubbing it into their arch-rivals down the East Lancs road.”
Whilst Man United got a lot of limelight for that quite embarrassing defeat on Sunday, those on the red half of Merseyside were once again overlooked.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are perhaps the best team in Europe currently, with the best coach and the best player in Mo Salah.
Even if the Reds dial down on their performances, for one reason or another, they will only go from scoring three, four or five to either one or two.
That’s how utterly devastating they have been this season.
