The Reds picked a much-changed side against the Foxes in the midst of a fixture pile-up and suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat, which means the Merseysiders must win at Old Trafford on Thursday if they are to have realistic ambitions of a top-four finish.
Solskjaer, when asked if he expects a backlash from Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool supporters for his decision to rotate, said he’s only thinking about United, our players and our fans.
He also spoke about Harry Maguire and Edinson Cavani in his pre-match press conference, which you can read – and watch – in full below…
Hi Ole, you were talking about Harry Maguire before the game. Are you optimistic that he’s got a chance for the Europa League final, or even a league game before that possibly?
“The good news was it wasn’t broken. There was no fracture, but a ligament injury of course is serious as well. If I’m very positive – that’s maybe stretching it – I’m hopeful that he might be ready for it. I don’t think he’ll play in the league again before [the end of the season]. We’ll do everything we can to get him ready for the final.”
