Jamie Carragher explains how Liverpool can beat Manchester United

Jamie Carragher believes that Liverpool could benefit from Manchester United playing an open game under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as opposed to the compact gameplan that Jose Mourinho invariably adopted against the Reds.

Sunday’s afternoon kickoff at Old Trafford could have huge consequences for the title race as well as the top four standings.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher reckons Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane could benefit from United’s new attacking mindset under Solskjaer.

Carragher said: “The way they [United] are setting up now, they’re really attacking, on the front foot, exciting to watch. Maybe that will give Liverpool more chance in terms of space at Old Trafford.

“Whenever Mourinho’s teams played against Liverpool at Old Trafford there was very little space for Mane and Salah, they always found it really difficult in the last couple of years.

“So maybe that might change, maybe a more open game. But Liverpool’s record is really poor at Old Trafford since Sir Alex Ferguson left so that is something that has to change.

“If Liverpool could get a result there they have a big week, Watford then Everton.

“But Manchester United is the real big one, that’s the one where Man City expect Liverpool to drop points. If they get three points there it will be a little body blow to Manchester City.”
