Bruno Fernandes names three Liverpool players in Manchester United warning

Bruno Fernandes has insisted Manchester United need to be careful of Liverpool this weekend despite the Reds' lack of recent form.

Liverpool's loss to Burnley on Thursday continued a poor run of recent Premier League form in which they have struggled to find the back of the net.

They now take on rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup and key Red Devils star Fernandes says his sie need to be wary.

The Portuguese midfielder pointed to Liverpool's front three of Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane as an example of players who can hit form at any moment.

"I think teams have moments," he told official club media. "I don't think Liverpool are playing poorly.

"I think they don't win and this is the point. When teams don't win, everyone talks about that. When players don't score, everyone talks about that.

Take our 30-second Liverpool transfer survey and let us know what Jurgen Klopp needs to do in the January window.

"I feel that on me because I know the standard is high, because I arrived and I scored a lot of goals and make a lot of assists, and everyone is wanting goals and assists from me.

"It is the same - everyone expects goals from Salah, from Firmino and from Mane. They are not scoring in the last games and it starts feeling like 'oh, they are not playing well'.

"They create, they play, but the other teams are playing better and, as I said before, they have more qualities to play.

"Every team goes there to play maybe without the pressure of the fans. Teams play a little bit more comfortably and, as I say, I think it is a moment. We don't have to look at that moment because big teams and big players can show in every moment."
