Ian Wright makes bold Manchester United prediction with latest Liverpool warning

Former striker Ian Wright says he worries for Manchester United ahead of Liverpool's Premier League visit to Old Trafford on Sunday.

Erik ten Hag's men collapsed in the final minutes of a thrilling encounter with Chelsea on Thursday evening, whilst their next opponents consolidated their place at the top of the table with victory over Sheffield United. That means recent form is on the visitors' side heading into the weekend, though only three weeks ago it was United that came out on top against their rivals in the FA Cup.

But Wright has not minced his words with his thoughts on the upcoming meeting, fearing the worst for the home side as he warns of Liverpool's determination to stay ahead of Arsenal and Manchester City during the run-in.

"I fear for Man United. I just feel like Liverpool will be much more focused than they were in that FA Cup game and be even more ruthless," he began to explain on The Ringer podcast. "We know United can be ruthless and [Alejandro] Garnacho alone is going to be a threat. But Liverpool will want to go there and put them in their place.

"I worry for United because I can see another big hiding. I could see them getting a good hiding to be honest. It's not like Old Trafford is a fortress anymore. If Liverpool come and have their heads on it could be a massive worry for United."
