Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will face each other in the FA Cup this weekend, and West Ham United coach Kevin Nolan has openly named the team he would like to win at Old Trafford.
Manchester United and Liverpool are traditional rivals, and the two Premier League giants will lock horns with each other at Old Trafford on Sunday.
A place in the semi-finals of the FA Cup is at stake. United are having a disappointing season. Winning the FA Cup would be massive for them. As for Liverpool, they would want to stay in the competition to achieve their dream of winning the Carabao Cup, the FA Cup, the Premier League and the UEFA Europa League in the same season.
West Ham United coach Kevin Nolan does not think that it will be easy for Liverpool to win against United, but the 41-year-old has made it clear that he wants the Merseyside club to be victorious.
Nolan was born in Liverpool. He played for Bolton Wanderers, Newcastle United and West Ham among other clubs and is now an assistant manager to David Moyes at the Hammers.
Kevin Nolan comments on Manchester United vs Liverpool FA Cup tie
Nolan said on BBC Radio 5 Live: “I am Scouse and I want Liverpool to win. But I am with you. I think they can cause an upset.”
My View: Liverpool will win vs Manchester United at Old Trafford
In my opinion, Liverpool will win against Manchester United. I do not expect Jurgen Klopp’s side to ease to a victory at Old Trafford, but I am backing the Merseyside club to get the job done in the end.
Liverpool are a better team and are in better form. The way they played against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final and against Manchester City in the Premier League despite having fitness and injury problems shows just how spirited the players are and how much quality even the youngsters have.
