The Norwegian has only been in charge of one match against the Reds during his coaching career – and what a game it was, too.He led his Cardiff City side, battling against relegation, in a nine-goal thriller but eventually saw his men fall to a 6-3 defeat.The Bluebirds had led twice, thanks to goals from Jordon Mutch and Frazier Campbell but a Luis Suarez hat-trick and a Martin Skrtel double ended their hopes of victory, even if Mutch did get another late on.Solskjaer will be hoping for a better outcome when United host Liverpool – live on talkSPORT – this Sunday.
