United and Liverpool share of the most storied rivalries in Premier League history with the two vying for most title wins.

And it often leads to heated confrontations between the feuding Northern fanbases.

Erik ten Hag’s struggling side travel to Anfield with two losses in their last three league matches.

The Dutchman’s future at Old Trafford remains in question but he does not fear the sack.

That is despite SunSport revealing that former Chelsea boss Graham Potter is favoured by incoming investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe to replace Ten Hag if results do not pick up.

And with United depleted by injuries and a suspension for captain Bruno Fernandes, they travel to the league leaders more in hope than expectation.

But asked if he was concerned about his own position, former Ten Hag said: “No, there is no concern because I’m here to win and I have to make the team play better.

“If you play good, even then good is not good enough. We’re inconsistent so I have to work on the team playing for longer periods at a higher level.

“At Ajax, you have to win. Here, you definitely have to win — that is always the demand.

“For those demands, you can never run away from that and I don’t.

“That’s our obligation, to win every game, the squad is good enough to put out a team who can win every game.”
