A new edition of the ‘North West Derby’ will take place today at Old Trafford, home of a United with a very convulsive and nebulous present
Nor are these easy times for the ‘reds’, who have not yet added three to this Premier
If in recent years the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester City has monopolized all the spotlights is, in large part, due to the little opposition that it has been able to do Manchester United against Jürgen Klopp’s. However today, in another edition ofl ‘North West Derby’, Erik ten Hag’s team He has a great springboard at hand to escape the crisis that torments him after two days, zero points and a win suffered in the stock market.
The harsh context of the match for the ‘red devils’ has led to a threat by the fans to boycott the game to protest the hand of the Glazers, owners of the club. “I really hope it doesn’t happen, but if it does I think we should get the points. We have nothing to do with the situation and if the fans want there to be no game, then we can’t just rearrange it again and fit it somewhere in an incredibly tight season,” Klopp said in the build-up to the match.
However, the ‘reds’ are not here to fire rockets either. They have accumulated two draws in their two games played, including the setback at Anfield with a gray tie against Crystal Palace and Darwin Núñez’s red included. That night Luis Díaz saved them, and the Colombian will repeat the starting role today alongside Mohamed Salah and Firmino on offense.
