(Reuters) - Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has congratulated rivals Liverpool on clinching their first league title in 30 years but conceded it always hurts to see someone else lift the trophy.
Juergen Klopp's Liverpool secured the Premier League crown after second-placed Manchester City lost 2-1 at Chelsea on Thursday, meaning the Merseyside club could not be caught with a 23-point lead over City with seven games remaining.
"Every time you see anyone else lift the trophy it hurts. I reckon that's the feeling of everyone associated with Manchester United -- players and supporters. We want to get back to winning ways and that's our challenge." More recently, United under former manager Alex Ferguson collected 13 league titles in 20 years between 1993 and 2013, but Solskjaer believes it will be difficult for Klopp's side to emulate that sustained success at Anfield.
