Paul Pogba says Manchester United's rivalry with Liverpool is much greater than their crosstown contest against Manchester City.

As the Red Devils prepare to host the Reds at Old Trafford on Sunday, midfielder Pogba insists the tradition of United v Liverpool is a lot more intense than that of their feud with City.

"The history of fixture is well known. It is a big derby, more so than Manchester City," he told BBC's 'The Premier League Show'.

"The atmosphere is always very special.

"You want three points against any team, but it is more special when it comes against Liverpool."
