Sunshine strikes back at Klopp comments

Ole Gunnar Solskjær has refuted Jurgen Klopp’s claims about Manchester United’s consumer power and joked that he has “started buying electric cars” to stop increasing the wealth in Manchester City and Chelsea.

Klopp recently commented that he can understand how the Premier League and European champions can both spend so much money, given their incredibly rich owners. But when he discussed the Red Devils’ attack on the market, the German admitted: “I do not know how they do it.”

Solskjaer responded to Klopp’s jibes before Man Utd’s clash with Southampton and insisted that they are a “well-run club” and that he has started buying electric cars in order not to increase the economic power of petrol and gas receivers Man City and Chelsea.

“We are a well-run club,” he said. “We have many fans out there and we have good sponsorship agreements.

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

“How other clubs run their clubs, there are different models at different clubs. I have started buying electric cars! That’s all I want to say about that situation. ”

Man Utd have been active in the transfer window and spent 72.9 million pounds on Jadon Sancho and another 40 million pounds on Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane. There are rumors that the Red Devils are also aiming to recruit a midfielder, with Rennes star Eduardo Camavinga on his list.

Meanwhile, both Chelsea and Man City have broken their transfer records this summer, with the Blues paying £ 97.5 million for Romelu Lukaku and the citizens who triggered Jack Grealish’s £ 100m release clause from Aston Villa, although both raised significant funds through player sales.

Liverpool’s only expenses come in the form of midfielder Ibrahima Konate, who the Reds signed from RB Leipzig for a fee of 40 million euros back in May. Klopp’s comments highlight the difference in consumability between the best clubs, as Liverpool aim to compete with a trio with big expenses.
