Liverpool are not a team that Manchester United fear as they prepare to take them on in the Premier League.

That is the view of manager Erik ten Hag, who lost 7-0 at Anfield in the league last season.

As he takes his beleaguered, injury riddled team to the same stadium on Sunday, he was bullish.

Ten Hag told reporters: "No [not worried]. We will put out a team that can challenge and we'll prepare them in the best way we can. We are confident we can put out a team that can win."

He added on the last season: "I haven't seen last season we were scared there. It was a bad experience, but it's not similar, you start again. Last year, the first half we played very decent and we got hammered just after half-time, then we collapsed. That can't happen but it's last year, it's a different team and different players for a part at least. We won't ignore it, but we'll be confident and we have to fight, challenge and go there with the idea, to prepare to win."

He then finished on the game: "Everyone is highly motivated when you go to Anfield, it's a great place to go. You know it's going to be tough and what every top footballer wants is that challenge. You have to look forward and last year, we take that in our memory, but you have to take the benefit and learn from it. On Sunday, we can prove that."
