That's exactly what they face on Monday night though, as United's biggest rivals look to pile on the misery and in doing so pick up their first Premier League win of the campaign.

Frustrating draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace have made it a stumbling start to the season from Jurgen Klopp's side, but they will be confident of a strong showing at Old Trafford.

United meanwhile have had some good news in the form of reaching an agreement to sign Casemiro, but with protests against the club's ownership planned ahead of kick-off, it could turn into a miserable night for the hosts.

Team News:

Manchester United:

Man United will be boosted by the return of Anthony Martial, who is yet to play this season due to a hamstring problem, but Ten Hag is likely to name the Frenchman on the bench, so Ronaldo, despite the speculation surrounding his future, might lead the attack once again.

Harry Maguire's spot in the XI is said to be under severe threat from Raphael Varane, while Luke Shaw could also be replaced by Malacia, who impressed in the second half against Brentford.

Ten Hag is expected to resist the temptation to make wholesale changes, with Fred, Bruno Fernandes and Eriksen potentially again featuring as the midfield three, leaving Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford to support Ronaldo in the forward positions.
