The Cliff still belongs to United

United can inadvertently gift Liverpool the title with victory over their neighbours tonight, but they are also desperate for a win themselves, after six defeats in their last eight games have left them scrambling for the top four.Solskjaer is not risking any hiccups, opting for the Hilton Hotel on Deansgate rather than the traditionally-used Lowry Hotel, in order to avoid roadworks. United arrived late to their Champions League group match against Valencia earlier this season due to midweek traffic.And from the Hilton, Solskjer took his team back to his iconic former training ground, The Cliff, for a light training session on Wednesday.4

Reports suggest the Norwegian is keen to give his players a ‘reality check’ and a shot of United’s rich history.United moved to their current base, Carrington, in 2002 after Sir Alex decided The Cliff was not good enough for a top Premier League club.
