'Darkest day for me ... United are rock bottom': Solskjaer after 5-0 defeat v Liverpool

"It is not easy to say something apart from it is the darkest day I have had leading these players," Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told Sky Sports after his United side lost 5-0 to Liverpool.

"We were not good enough individually and as a team, can't give a team like Liverpool those chances but unfortunately we did.

"The whole performance was not good enough. We created openings, they had chances and they have been clinical. The third goal decided the game.

"We are at home, playing against Liverpool, we have gone here over the last two and half years and had a similar approach to high press but today they scored on their chances I think as Manchester United we should always try to stamp our authority on the game.

"You can look at last season we lose to Spurs 6-1 this is worse, miles worse. This is miles worse for me as a Manchester lad. I've just got to say we have to get over this as quickly as we can.

"We know we are rock bottom, we can't feel any worse than this. Let's see where we take it."

Big credit to Ole for staying defiant after a 5-0 win. Please please don't sack him, dear United board.

On a serious note, this was a huge performance by Liverpool but it was made possible by how poor United were. They couldn't string two passes together and were absolutely shocking at the back. Long may it continue!
