Wayne Rooney says "the pressure is more on Liverpool" going into Manchester United's trip to Anfield on Sunday. The Reds slipped to three consecutive defeats before the international break and lost their spot at the top of the Premier League to Arsenal. "If United can come away with a point then that will be huge," said Rooney on The Wayne Rooney Show.
Wayne Rooney says "the pressure is more on Liverpool" going into Manchester United's trip to Anfield on Sunday.
The Reds slipped to three consecutive defeats before the international break and lost their spot at the top of the Premier League to Arsenal.
"If United can come away with a point then that will be huge," said Rooney on The Wayne Rooney Show. "Whenever we went to Anfield, we always said don't mess around with the ball at the back because they will sprint after you and then the crowd get up.
"The international break will have helped Liverpool because they will have had time away from each other. That can help settle it down because you have time to think.
"It is the same for Arne Slot, he will have known exactly what to say to galvanise them once they returned.
"The pressure is more on Liverpool because United fans don't really expect to get anything from it. Fans would be happy with a point, but if Liverpool lose four games in a row then there is pressure on them.
"There is a chance United could win but it will be very difficult. I hope they go with the right gameplan and Ruben Amorim sticks with playing the two forwards closer to each other.
"I want to see them go for it because if you sit back against Liverpool then they will kill you."
