The club have since responded.
There were some confusion over who he supported but he revealed if you pushed him, he'd say Manchester United.
"I was big into football as a kid, but more as a player than a watcher," he said.

"I suppose if you pushed me I would say Manchester United, but that's only because it gets passed down from generation to generation.
"I think just about everyone in Ireland is either a Liverpool or United fan. But some people go a little weird, referring to the team they support as 'we'.
"To me that's a little crazy. I admire their athleticism and their dedication. Ronaldo is a phenomenal athlete. His speed, his takeoff from a standing start and his ability to operate at high speeds are impressive."
Anyway, Solskjaer continues to produce managerial brilliance. He secured United a spot in the next round of the FA Cup after dumping out Arsenal.
