Old Trafford was amazing that day and we’re expecting the crowd to be at its defiant best on Sunday again. How important is that?

“They will be at their best. I know our fans. They will back our players and be out there cheering us on, especially if the players respond to what we’ve done this week and what we’re trying to do so they come out there fighting, which I know they will. There’s a great hunger and humility in the group, they work hard and are going to go out there and give their best.”



You touched on it there. It’s only one game but could it change the whole direction of the season if we manage to get a positive result…

“The feeling in a football club is always decided by results on the pitch and, of course, at the moment, we’re feeling a bit low. Can it change? Definitely with a win against Liverpool and then we’ve got games coming up we’re look forward to. That’s just the nature of a human being and a footballer. You get confidence through performances and results and they tip that margin that goes against you so it goes for us, so we’ll be there.”

MUTV's live coverage of United v Liverpool begins at 16:30 BST.
