The Red Devils will travel to Liverpool on Sunday with the memory of a beating they received last spring.
It was Manchester United’s heaviest defeat in 92 years. On March 5, 2023, the Reds Devils were swept aside 7-0 on Liverpool’s pitch (26th day of the Premier League). On Sunday the two teams will meet at Anfield (day 17 – kick-off at 5:30 p.m.)
The most pessimistic Mancunian supporters may fear a new slap in the face as Erik ten Hag’s team has just suffered a new defeat at home on Tuesday against Bayern Munich in the Champions League (0-1).
The setback conceded three days earlier, still at Old Trafford, against Bournemouth (0-3) adds a little more to the depression affecting the Manchester United community, far from the years of glory. Especially since Liverpool head into the weekend as table leaders.

In Liverpool, Ten Hag will have to do without Harry Maguire, in central defense, and Anthony Martial, the French center forward. Both players are physically affected, the Dutch coach said at a press conference on Friday.
Martial withdrew against Bayern Munich due to virus.
