Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Supporters Liverpool angry on social media and accusing Manchester United intentionally lost to Leicester City in continued Premier League at Old Trafford Stadium, Wednesday (12/5) in the morning WIB.
Man Utd lost 1-2 to Leicester. These results not only ensure Manchester City win the Premier League this season, but also make Liverpool even more difficult in the competition for the top four positions.
Liverpool are currently in sixth place in the Premier League standings with 57 points. Despite having one more game, The Reds are still seven points adrift of Chelsea who are in fourth position.
Quoted from Manchester Evening News, Liverpool supporters are outraged by Man Utd coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s decision to deliberately lower a coating player against Leicester. Solskjaer was accused of deliberately giving Leicester an easy victory so that Liverpool failed to penetrate the Champions League zone this season.
“United helped Leicester get an easy victory to be in the top 4, and will bring down the best strength against us. They have already finished second place, the fact that United’s protests did not cost them at all and had worse consequences for us is a joke, “wrote the account @LFCLaurie on Twitter.
Solskjaer made ten changes to the Starting XI against Leicester. Solskjaer only retained Mason Greenwood from the line-up when he beat Aston Villa. In addition, Solskjaer also fielded young players such as Amad Diallo and Anthony Elanga.
However, not all Liverpool fans blame Man Utd. A number of Liverpool supporters say the Reds can only blame themselves if they fail to play in the Champions League next season.
Man Utd will host Liverpool in the Premier League match which was delayed due to the actions of the supporters who attacked Old Trafford. The postponement match will be held on the day of Eid, Thursday (13/5), or Friday (14/5) in the morning WIB.
Solksjaer himself admitted that he was forced to rotate players because of the busy schedule that the Man Utd squad had to undergo until the Europa League final against Villarreal on May 26.
