Naby Keita sees the trip to Manchester United as crucial in his Liverpool career.

Sky Deutschland's Florian Plettenberg is reporting Keita regards Monday's match against United as a very important one for his future.

Keita was left on the bench against Crystal Palace and will want a starting role in the match tomorrow.

The midfielder scored in this fixture last season and produced an impressive performance.

It has been rumoured that Keita is unhappy with his current situation at Liverpool and wants to be playing more. Former club RB Leipzig are watching developments.

Liverpool want to extend his contract, but talks have stalled.
