Erik Ten Hag is clearly in a buoyant move ahead of the visit of Liverpool, with the United manager urging the fans to make Old Trafford as intimidating as possible.
The Red Devils' Premier League campaign has gotten off to a mixed start, with a win over Fulham followed by a loss at Brighton.
However, the Red Devils were unbeaten in three meetings against Liverpool last season, including a thrilling 4-3 FA Cup victory at Old Trafford, where the electric atmosphere played a significant role.

Ahead of their latest encounter, ten Hag was asked if the fans need to recreate that same intense environment to give his team an edge against Liverpool, now managed by Arne Slot.
“I think that’s often the case,” Ten Hag said.
"I’m sure the fans are ready for it and together with us to take the fire to this good challenge. The fans are excited, the team is excited, and in togetherness, we will go for it.”
