Ben Foster has ruled out a Christmas miracle when Manchester United travel to Anfield to face league leaders Liverpool on Sunday (17 December).
Erik Ten Hag’s Red Devils were not only UEFA champions, they also had their worst performance on Tuesday. It’s a league, but it’s all of Europe.
His men finished bottom of Group A after losing 1-0 to Bayern Munich. Manchester United’s league campaign hasn’t gone much better and they currently sit in sixth place.
They have won 9 and lost 7 of their 16 games and the pressure is mounting on Ten Haag. Foster expects Liverpool to cause their rivals more misery when they meet this weekend. He spoke to YouTuber and Red Devils fan Mark Goldbridge, who joked he could do wonders. “I’d take the miracle and throw it to win at home to Liverpool,” the former United goalkeeper told Goldbridge.
Goldbridge expressed similar sentiments in an entertaining analysis of how things could end for his beloved Manchester United.“I think we can bring a dead cat here, which still means beating Liverpool at home. That’s about as welcoming as United will be. Ten Hag’s side will face a tough task as they clash with the Merseysiders.
The team led by manager Jurgen Klopp leads the Premier League with 11 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat in 16 matches. Red Devils fans don’t need to be reminded how this same game played out last season. They lost 7-0 to Liverpool in one of the most devastating moments in the club’s history.
