(Reuters) - Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said his loyalty remains towards his players and fans as he dismissed any concerns about what Liverpool might think about him fielding a weakened team against Leicester City.

Solskjaer made 10 changes for United's 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford on Tuesday that moved Leicester nine points ahead of Liverpool in the battle for a top-four finish.

Asked whether he was prepared for a reaction from Liverpool supporters and manager Juergen Klopp, Solskjaer said:"My job is for Manchester United and my concern is the Manchester United fans. Victory over Klopp's side would all but end Liverpool's Champions League qualification hopes but Solskjaer maintains he had no other option but to rotate his squad for four games in eight days."The protest in Manchester led up to this situation, but to play Sunday, Tuesday and then Thursday is a crime. It is not the fault of Ole and the players," Klopp said.

"There will be changes of course but many of the players that played tonight did really well, so they are in contention ," the Norwegian added.
