Manchester United vs Liverpool Betting Tips PT 1

The biggest contest in quite a while has come along for both of these sides as high-flying Liverpool take on Manchester United – who have had a rather rough patch of form in their last few fixtures after opening up the season with a lot of momentum under new manager Jose Mourinho. The Red Devils have been able to showcase moments of absolute excellence so far this year but a series of defensive errors and underwhelming performances against lesser opposition have seen them beginning to languish outside of the top four once again.

Going into this match-up the general consensus is that it is a must-win for both managers – though you would have to say that Mourinho is under the most pressure here in this contest after the aforementioned poor run of form.

Heading into this contest you have to assume that the big question is over the starting line-ups for Manchester United and one thinks that Wayne Rooney will start this match-up on the bench once again for United. He has really been in a rough patch of form and his performances have been making the system at Manchester United fail to work so cohesively.

Looking at the opportunity here, if the ex-Everton man could come off the bench and grab the winner against Liverpool it would do an awful lot to help cement Rooney's legacy and help get him back on the pitch on a more regular basis alongside the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the young upstart sensation Marcus Rashford.

Anthony Martial appears to have gone off the boil for United after starting the season so flamboyantly last year and the $60m purchase has been overshadowed by a homegrown academy player who emerged during last year's Europa League contests. Rashford is now an England international and appears to be the next world star to emerge from English footballing academies.
