I fear for Manchester United – Arsenal legend predicts what will happen at Old Trafford

Manchester United play host to Liverpool this afternoon at Old Trafford.

It’s a significant game for both sides. Liverpool are fighting for the league title, and a win will see them go back top of the league, while for Manchester United, it’s to finish in the top four.

Ex-Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright, has said he is ‘worried’ for Manchester United ahead of this game.

“I fear for United against Liverpool,” Wright said on the Wrighty’s House podcast.

“A team like Liverpool, going for what they’re going for now, the manager leaving, everything that’s in Liverpool’s armoury to go and make sure that they’re ready for a game… we’re not going to see that FA Cup business, with Man United and what they did in the FA Cup.

“I just feel that Liverpool will be much more focused and they’re going to be even more ruthless.

“We know that Manchester United can be ruthless.

“[Alejandro] Garnacho being there alone is going to be a problem for anyone.

“But I just feel at this stage of the season, Liverpool will know they’re coming and we’re going to put them in their place, whatever it takes.

“I’m worried for United because, as much as they can score, I can see them getting another good hiding. I can see it.”

Ian Wright also said he no longer sees Old Trafford as a fortress, as Manchester United have already suffered 12 defeats this season, six of them on home soil.

“I’ve seen them getting a hiding at Old Trafford, it’s not like it’s their fortress. I’ve seen them getting a hiding at Old Trafford!” he added.

“And some of the times I’ve seen not so many goals and they’ve still got a hiding.

“If Liverpool come ready and they’ve got their heads in this, it could be a massive worry for them.”
