Liverpool defender Andy Robertson looks certain to start on Sunday, when his side take on Manchester United.
Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has told the Scotsman that he actually likes Old Trafford.
Liverpool players typically are not too complimentary about Manchester United, but Robertson claims that he enjoys taking on the Red Devils.
The Scottish full-back says that he feels that there is always a good atmosphere at Old Trafford whenever he plays there.
And although he prefers Anfield as a ground, Robertson is also a big fan of United’s stadium.
“I think what makes it so special is that it’s historic,” Robertson said.
“There have been such great battles down the years. And they’ve always had top teams who have always fought against each other for everything on the pitch.
“It’s always like that. And it’s genuinely a different atmosphere when you play against them. It’s a historic stadium, nice, though I prefer Anfield… The atmosphere is good, too. There is always an edge to it.”
Robertson has a strong track record in fixtures between Liverpool and United, and even drew huge praise from Jose Mourinho back in 2018 after the derby match.
“Liverpool play 200mph with and without the ball,” Mourinho said to TalkSPORT after Liverpool beat his side 3-1.
“I am still tired to look at Robertson. He makes a 100m sprint per minute! Incredible.”
Robertson will be hoping that he is celebrating taking the three points away from United at the weekend.
Liverpool have started the season in brilliant form, with Jurgen Klopp’s side taking maximum points from their first eight games.
They head to United as heavy favourites to win, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men really struggling.
United have taken just nine points from their first eight games in the league, and defeat to Liverpool could leave them close to the relegation zone, if other results don’t go in their favour.
