Former Liverpool midfielder Jason McAteer has claimed only one player from Manchester United would get into Jurgen Klopp's side.
United host Liverpool on Sunday looking to end their rivals 100 per cent start to the season as the Reds lead the Premier League table after eight games of the season.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are already 15 points behind the early leaders in 12th place after an inconsistent start to the campaign.
Pogba will miss out on the game at Old Trafford after being ruled out through injury but McAteer believes that the French World Cup winner is the only player who could near Klopp's team.
Speaking to the Racing Post, he explained: "The only one of their players I think could make it into the Liverpool team is Paul Pogba.
"The Reds are European champions, have won every league game this season and the mentality of the squad collectively is brilliant.
"The club is in a very good place. You might argue Marcus Rashford could get into the Liverpool team but you would have to shoehorn him into a team playing a different system - I wouldn't remove any of Liverpool's front three."
Liverpool are the odds-on favourite to secure the three points against United and McAteer thinks that the game will demonstrate the gulf in class between the two sides.
He added: "The gulf in class between Liverpool and Manchester United is the biggest it has been in the Premier League era without a shadow of a doubt.
"United have issues at board level and on the pitch."
