- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reignited his penalty feud with Jurgen Klopp
- The Liverpool boss outlined United’s favourable penalty record last season
- Solskjaer has blamed the German for United receiving fewer spot kicks
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has blamed Jurgen Klopp for Manchester United being awarded fewer penalties this season.
Solskjaer was frustrated after Cristiano Ronaldo had two appeals turned down in last weekend’s win at West Ham, and also felt United should have been given a penalty for Mark Noble’s challenge on Jesse Lingard when the two clubs met again in the Carabao Cup at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
The United manager feels that Klopp has contributed to the problem since he complained in January about how many penalties were being given to United.

‘We just have to hope we get what we deserve,’ said Solskjaer ahead of Saturday’s game against Aston Villa.
‘We should have had three penalties in the last two games. There was a certain manager who worried about us getting pens last year and after that it seems like the decisions were more difficult to give.
‘I’ve seen a big difference since then on. You just have to leave it to the refs and hope they make the right calls very soon.’
