Solskjaer: Spurs win won't make us forget Liverpool loss

Solskjaer: Spurs win won't make us forget Liverpool loss

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted that the wounds left by Manchester United's 5-0 drubbing against Liverpool were still fresh, despite Saturday's emphatic victory over Tottenham. 

Goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani and Marcus Rashford gave the Red Devils the perfect response following that historic defeat, as Spurs were beaten 3-0 in north London. 

But Solskjaer is aware that the Liverpool humiliation is still fresh in the club's mind and that the pressure it brought still looms over him. 

Asked if the win at Tottenham means United could now move on from the Liverpool game, Solskjaer told BBC Sport: "Of course it doesn't. That's always going to be in the history books - one of the darkest days. A dark spot on our CV. But football becomes history so quickly.

"The experience of Edinson Cavani and Cristiano is massive. We need it. We can't hide. The week has been difficult for all the players. They really stuck at it. Experience counts in situations like this."
