Jurgen Klopp exposes Liverpool preparations for Manchester United’s ‘ridiculous’ attack

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has given an insight into his team’s preparations for Sunday’s trip to face Manchester United’s “totally insane” onslaught.

With 22 goals in eight games, Liverpool has the most potent attack in the Premier League. Salah, along with Jamie Vardy, leads the scoring charts.

Liverpool head to Old Trafford on a 21-game undefeated run and haven’t lost at United’s home in three years, according to Klopp.

However, as Liverpool prepares to face the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Klopp has concentrated on his defense.

“If we didn’t defend well at United I don’t know a reason why we would even get on the coach and go there,” Klopp said. “Because the quality they have offensively is absolutely ridiculous.

“I really don’t think it’s very likely we will score three goals at United, but we never before a game think more about scoring than we do about defending.

“So for us it’s 100 per cent clear that to get in the game, to stay in the game and to win the game at United, you have to defend at your absolute highest level.

“We have to focus on that but not only that as we have to create and play football. It’s important to be incredibly brave because each ball you lose against United is a massive red [flag].

“It’s a counter attack which is a red [flag] because of the speed they have and all these kinds of things.

“So it’s a proper task to play United but we still wanna do it and are looking forward to it. We all know it’s one of the biggest games in the world. It will be a good one.”
