On Monday, Manchester United will face Liverpool at Old Trafford, and we’ll have live updates from the game on our dedicated blog.
On Monday night, Manchester United will host Liverpool at Old Trafford in the Premier League.
This season, United has suffered humiliating defeats against Brighton and Brentford. Erik ten Hag has demanded a reaction from his team against Liverpool, who thrashed United 5-0 at Old Trafford and 4-0 at Anfield last season.
Ten Hag is expected to make changes to his lineup, with Harry Maguire possibly being named to the bench. Ten Hag signed Lisandro Martinez this summer, and MEN was the first to report that he could start alongside Raphael Varane. Anthony Martial is a possible starter, but Victor Lindelof is still out.
United fans are planning a protest against the Glazers before tonight’s game, which we will cover in depth. Due to security concerns, United canceled a planned pre-match meeting at The Lowry Hotel.
Casemiro poised to watch new teammates
Casemiro will either be holed up in the directors’ box or possibly the suite where the players will be having their pre-match meal. It would be logical for Casemiro to meet them although United players’ focus will be on the game and any sideshows might be unwelcomed, even if it is a player they absolutely need in the dressing room.
Bryan Robson, clad in his club suit, has been pacing around the technical area and is now on his way up to meet some sponsors. If Casemiro can have half the impact Robson did at United then he’ll have been a success. Robson’s greatest United goal – and one of the greatest United goals – was against Liverpool in the 1985 FA Cup semi-final replay at Maine Road. There was plenty to like about that side…
Players spotted arriving at Old Trafford tonight
Casemiro has headed into Old Trafford as he prepares to watch his new teammates.
But all eyes will be on the team sheet when it drops through at 7 pm tonight.
