Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet is looking forward to today's clash with Manchester United.

The Belgian had been dropped for the corresponding fixture in December.

"The gaffer took me into his office to tell me I wouldn't play against United. It was disappointing and I could have let my head drop, but I decided to be positive to make sure my period on the sidelines was as short as possible," said Mignolet.

"I trained the next day to make sure I'd be ready in a better way when the opportunity arose."
