Roberto Firmino has vowed to carry on scoring no-look goals for Liverpool - despite admitting it is a "dangerous" approach.

Firmino will aim to further bolster a tally of 61 goals in 179 appearances for the Reds when they visit Manchester United on Sunday seeking a result to move them back to the Premier League summit.

The Brazilian has become famed for a succession of strikes in which he turns away when firing the ball home, the most recent example of which came in the 5-1 win over Arsenal in December, during which he scored his first hat-trick as a professional.

And Firmino is well aware of the risk involved attempting such goals.

"I remember the first no-look goal I scored for Hoffenheim," he said. "Against Werder Bremen, I think. Something like that. I rounded the goalkeeper and turned away from it.

"It came from nowhere; the idea just came to me. It's dangerous, isn't it?

"You can miss out on a goal. But whenever the chance comes, I do it."

While Brendan Rodgers was Liverpool boss when Firmino arrived at the club in 2015, it's under Jurgen Klopp that the Brazilian has blossomed into an integral part of the Red attack.

And he said: "I've learned so much from Klopp. We knew each other a bit in Germany. I played against his Dortmund side for Hoffenheim a few times and scored goals against him. I was really pleased when he arrived here. He said he was looking forward to working with me.

"Of course, I had to show him what I could do in order to play. But I've learned a lot from him. He's a father figure, so passionate.

"He's completely changed the team in terms of tactics and everything else. We've improved and grown with him."

Under Klopp, Firmino has been transformed into a number nine while this season also appearing in an attacking midfield role.

And in a wide-ranging interview with Bleacher Report, Firmino insists he'd happily recreate the early days of his career by filling in for Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.

"I started off as a holding midfielder for my local team, CRB (Clube de Regatas Brasil)," added Firmino. "It was only as I went through the age groups that I started to change into more of an attacking midfielder.

"Would I play there again? Oh, definitely. I would even play in goal if that helped the team. I'd do anything."
