The Manchester United manager revealed on Wednesday that the Spaniard is set to be sidelined for the visit of the Merseysiders with injury.

De Gea picked up a muscle problem playing for his national team and, although this weekend’s game looks to be coming too soon for the Spaniard to recover, Solskjaer said the injury isn’t too serious.

“Well I don't expect him to play, but it wasn't as bad as feared,” Ole told reporters in his pre-match press conference.
