Manchester United face Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend. Gulp.

It’s safe to say that Manchester United do not usually have a good time when it comes to taking on Jurgen Klopp’s first-team squad – particularly away from Old Trafford.

Last season Erik ten Hag got his first taste of the encounter at Anfield, which ended in utter disaster.

Manchester United lost 7-0 to their bitter rivals, in what was one of the most depressing moments of 2023 for Red Devils fans.

When was the last time Manchester United scored at Anfield?

Manchester United have not scored a goal at Anfield since 2018.
