Dimitar Berbatov has given his prediction of the upcoming match between Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United.
The former United striker believes that there will be two goals in the Premier League game at Anfield.
So, what has Dimitar Berbatov said about Liverpool against Manchester United? Let’s take a look.
Dimitar Berbatov predicts Liverpool vs Manchester United
Well, Liverpool will lock horns with Manchester United at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday.
Liverpool will head into the match as favourites. The Reds are at the top of the league table with 37 points from 16 matches, a point clear of second-placed Arsenal.
United are way down in seventh place. The Red Devils have picked up 27 points from 16 matches.
Former United striker Dimitar Berbatov has backed Liverpool to pick up all three points from the match at Anfield courtesy of a 2-0 win.
The pundit has also outlined the importance of Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah in the match.

The way he plays football and what it brings to the team while having a coach that understands you like Jurgen Klopp, then you will get results.
“Salah is the main threat for Liverpool, but they have many great players. Klopp is smart enough to explore the weaknesses of Man United in their form, and we know Liverpool will start the game like mad dogs, they’ll chase, bite, and probably score.
“Man United used to score goals when the opposing team needed to score to get a result. In the last two games, Man United have not scored. Now they play Liverpool, who have Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alisson in a world-class defence.
“I want to see Man United get into more goalscoring opportunities. I want to say Man United will score, but I think it may be too much for them this time.
“Prediction: 2-0.”
Liverpool will win vs United
In my view, Liverpool will win against Manchester United. I do not think that it is going to be easy for Jurgen Klopp’s side, but I believe that they will get the job done.
United are likely to play a defensive game. After all, the match is at Anfield. And Liverpool are a better team.
I cannot envisage Liverpool losing or even drawing. Of course, in any football is possible, but I am still predicting a win for the home team.
