Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is under no illusions about the "tremendous" challenge Liverpool will pose in Sunday's Premier League blockbuster as he admits his side has fallen behind their rivals in recent years.
The two giants face off at Old Trafford in a clash which even at this early stage could hold huge implications in the 2021-22 title race.
And Solskjaer admits that it will not be easy to take down Jurgen Klopp's charges, who have been in fine form so far this term.
“It’s a massive rivalry because of the history of the two clubs. The amount of titles and trophies these two clubs have won and the history between us, the two cities and the football clubs," the Norwegian told reporters ahead of the encounter.
“It’s a rivalry that you have to take up and hold your hand up and say that they are a very good club, a very good team.
