“Liverpool will beat Man United more than 5-0 if Ten Hag fails to do this” – Wayne Rooney

Manchester United lost 5-0 to Liverpool at Old Trafford last season and Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has warned it could be more on Monday night.

Rooney said: “We should remember that this is only the start of Ten Hag’s reign, that he’ll need time and that he’ll have identified a number of issues to address when the time is right. He clearly wants to see the players he inherited and give them a chance.

“But he also needs to do something quickly and the first priority is, against Liverpool, to just compete and have a go. Do that and the fans will accept it, even if United get beaten.

“Play like they did against Brentford, and United will suffer an even worse result than their 5-0 defeat by Liverpool last season.

“I don’t expect that to happen, by the way — I can’t see United winning, but I believe there’ll be a reaction and they’ll lose by the odd goal, or even snatch a draw.”
