Liverpool host United after losing the past three games, but remain favourites for the game.
“Just with Liverpool losing three games, I think that pride kicks in and the fans will know, the fans are not stupid, they know and will get behind the team and push them,” Rooney said on his personal podcast. “So for United, I think going there, if United come away with a point, I think that would be huge.”
He added: “I think the pressure for this game, I think purely because I don’t think United fans will be expecting three points in this game, where in other games they are.
“I think they’ll go in a say, if we can get a point we’ll be happy with that, where I think for Liverpool, if Liverpool lose four games in a row and they lose to Man United at Anfield, I think the pressure is definitely on Liverpool for this game.”
