Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano is determined he will not be red carded a second time at Old Trafford after being dismissed last season for dissent. The 24-year-old was subsequently charged with improper conduct by the Football Association and received a two-match suspension in addition to his statutory one-game ban.

"It was really difficult for me but I am sure that situation will not happen again," said the Argentinian.

"We are in the title race and we need to think about winning there and then see what happens.

"First you have to win. The most important thing for us is to try to win and give the supporters a happy day."
