What The Coaches Said
Jurgen Klopp: “The individual quality of United upfront is ridiculous. [I] heard Martial can play probably, now trained again and can play. He played against us a really good game, so another boy with technique and speed. Football quality in midfield, whoever lines up he will have [Christian] Eriksen, [Bruno] Fernandes, Donny van de Beek, Fred… and [Scott] McTominay. There’s real quality there and then it’s just about how we deal with that.”

Erik ten Hag: “I know we are the rivals. We have to win every game but especially this game, yeah, I know. We know what’s going on when you play against Liverpool and especially when you’re Manchester United. So, of course, you have to be ready but also again you have to cut a point, you have to fight yourself into the season. But it is from game to game.”
