“Ole was very blunt about Liverpool with his players and clearly believes they do not have enough to beat City to the title.

“He thinks they are very one dimensional, lacking creativity. He certainly has faith that his team are a better outfit,” a Manchester United source was quoted as saying by The Sun.

Interestingly, Sunday's 0-0 result at against United Old Trafford saw Liverpool return to the top of the Premier League log, but many are still unconvinced about their quality to beat Manchester City to the Premier League title.

At the moment, Liverpool are still at the summit of the log, one point ahead of Pep Guardiola’s City with 11 games to the end of the campaign.

On the other hand, Klopp was also not impressed with his team’s performance on Sunday, with TV images capturing him yelling “F*****g hell, what a s*** game” to Solskjaer as they exchanged pleasantries at the blast of the referee’s final whistle.

During the encounter, despite enjoying 65 per cent ball possession, Liverpool could only account for one shot on target which did not was definitely poor by the Reds standard.

But the spate of injuries that saw man United lose the trio of Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard while Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino suffering an ankle injury after 30 minutes also contributed in the overall quality of the game.

However, Solskjaer has managed to keep a decent record since taking over the reins of power at Old Trafford, winning eight Premier League games from 10.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
