Manchester United defender Chris Smalling was delighted with their point at Liverpool.

United now turn their attention to the Europa League with a match at Old Trafford against Fenerbahce on Thursday before travelling to Chelsea on Sunday in the Premier League.

Smalling has identified United's three matches in a week programme to fire the Reds' campaign.

“Considering the week we have ahead of us the Liverpool draw is not a bad result to start it off," he said.

“With the fixtures we have this week we can make it a turning point in our season.

“We got a clean sheet at Anfield and that is something we have not had in a few games so we can kick on now. Our confidence is good.

“Sunday at Stamford Bridge is a must win game because looking at Liverpool and Chelsea beforehand we would have taken four points ahead of those."
