Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has told Liverpool, manager, Jurgen Klopp to mind his own business and get with the times.

The Red Devils coach hit back after his Anfield rival questioned how he has been able to fund a £119.7million spend on Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane.

Klopp, who has only brought in defender Ibrahima Konate for £36m, has condemned “no limits” spending in the transfer market this summer.

But Solskjaer who was not pleased with the words of the Reds boss hit back by saying:

“We are a well-run club. We do have a lot of fans out there and we do have good sponsorship deals.

“How we get the money, as a manager you want more and more. I have heard 'no' a few times.

“How other clubs run their clubs, there are different models at different clubs.”

Title rivals Manchester City landed Jack Grealish in a £100m British record deal and Harry Kane could follow for around £150m.

Chelsea are also expected to challenge after shelling out £97.5m for Romelu Lukaku.

Reflecting on what Jurgen Klopp previously said, Ole believes it was not necessary and the Reds manager has to adapt to his time whiles they keep on with spending to achieve their purpose for the new season.

“We all know the situation of Chelsea and Manchester City.

“While for Manchester United I don't know how they do it, but we have our way to do it.”

Solskjaer uses the fact that many are switching to more expensive electric cars as an example to Klopp of how market trends are moving with the times.

“I have started buying electric cars! That is all I want to say about that situation.” He added:

Like Solskjaer, City boss Pep Guardiola has already challenged Liverpool over his comments, insisting that "We have limits for the Financial Fair Play.

“If they don't agree they can go to court and make a statement and we defend.

“Financial Fair Play is the rule for us and we follow absolutely the rules.”
