Solskjaer: This is the darkest day I have had as a Manchester United coach

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has claimed that Manchester United's 5-0 defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford is his toughest moment since he took charge of the Red Devils.

Jurgen Klopp's men outplayed their arch-rivals and grabbed a comfortable victory thanks to Naby Keita's opener, Diogo Jota's goal in his return to the starting line-up and a Mohamed Salah hat-trick.

"It is not easy to say something apart from it is the darkest day I have had leading these players," Solskjaer told Sky Sports.

"We were not good enough individually and as a team. The whole performance was not good enough.

"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."

Solskjaer went on to declare that he is not willing to step down, as he believes that he is close to achieving his objective at Manchester United.

"I have come too far, we have come too far as a group, and we are too close to give up now," added Solskjaer.

"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."
