Solskjaer reveals Liverpool wanted to sign him in 1996 but joining United was his 'only one choice'

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spent 11 years as a player at Old Trafford. The 47-year-old says he could have joined Liverpool as the Reds approached him in 1996.

"Were Liverpool and Bayern Munich in for me? Yes, [and] Cagliari, PSV and a couple of other teams," he told United's official website. 

'But I wouldn't change the history. There was only one choice. It was fantastic when the call [from Man United] came."

Apparently, the Norwegian's boyhood admiration for Liverpool disappeared even before he joined Manchester United. If he was a Reds fan, he would have taken the chance to join the club.

Now, however, Solskjaer shows more and more bitterness towards LFC, saying that Jurgen Klopp's crew can't be called a great team, and repeatedly made references to the Reds' 30-year title drought.
