On June 19, 2020, Manchester City's loss to Chelsea sealed Liverpool's Premier League title, their first in 30 years.
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has congratulated Liverpool on their historic achievement, but admitted it's always difficult to see someone else lift the trophy.
"First of all, any team that wins the championship and a Premier League deserve it and deserve credit, it's a hard league to win," Solskjaer said in a virtual news conference.
"Well done to Juergen and his players. 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," he added.
Despite Liverpool's impressive achievement, Solskjaer believes it will be difficult for them to emulate Manchester United's sustained success under Sir Alex Ferguson, who won 13 league titles in 20 years between 1993 and 2013.
"The run of titles that we won under Sir Alex, I don't think that's going to be easy for anyone to emulate or copy," Solskjaer said.
Manchester United face Norwich City in Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final, and Solskjaer hopes winning the competition could spur them on for further success in the future.
