Ten Hag also acknowledged the significance of the upcoming match against Liverpool, noting that games between these two teams are always highly anticipated. He emphasized the need for top-notch performances to compete against such strong opponents.
On the Liverpool side, manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed that Mohamed Salah will be fit for the fixture after recovering from a muscle injury. Klopp praised Salah's quality and expressed admiration for his impact on previous matches against United.
Klopp also mentioned some injury concerns within his squad, with Ibrahima Konate being a doubt and players like Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota, and Trent Alexander-Arnold not expected to return until after the international break.
