“There’s no way we can beat Liverpool without him,” said a tearful Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag during this morning’s pre-match press conference. A key player, who was expected to be the main force in the upcoming game against Liverpool, suffered a career-ending injury in yesterday’s match—a devastating blow for United, with the player now sidelined until next year.

Many Liverpool fans will be relieved that the transfer window is now closed, allowing full focus on football, with a match against Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United up next.

Regarding the Old Trafford side, Ten Hag has confirmed that Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, and Leny Yoro will be unavailable for selection.

It’s fortunate for Arne Slot that we’ll be facing our old rivals while they’re missing some key players, but regardless of who’s on the field, our priority is securing a victory.

After two draws and a defeat against Ten Hag’s team last season, we’ll be hoping for some payback.
