Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has called on his players to make history as Newcastle aim to end their 68-year title drought.
The Red Devils are currently in second place in the Premier League table and are looking to secure a top-four finish and Champions League qualification. However, Solskjaer is also keen for his side to make a statement and challenge for the title this season.
Newcastle United, meanwhile, are looking to end their long wait for a league title, having last won the top flight in the 1951/52 season. The Magpies have been in the top flight since 1993 and have come close to winning the title on a few occasions, but have fallen short each time.
This season, however, Newcastle are in with a chance of ending their long wait for a title. They currently sit fourth in the table, just two points behind Manchester United, and have been in impressive form so far this season.
Solskjaer knows that his side will face a tough challenge if they are to win the title this season, but he is confident that his players can rise to the occasion and make history.
“We’re in a great position to challenge for the title this season and I want my players to make history,” said Solskjaer. “We know that Newcastle are a very good team and they’re in with a chance of ending their long wait for a title. We need to be at our very best if we’re going to win the title this season.”
The Red Devils face a tough test this weekend as they travel to St James’ Park to take on Newcastle. It promises to be an intriguing encounter between two sides who are both looking to make history this season.
Manchester United will be hoping to continue their impressive form and keep their title hopes alive, while Newcastle will be looking to take another step towards ending their long wait for a league title.
It promises to be an exciting game and one that could have a huge impact on the title race this season.
