Jurgen Klopp says it is “obvious” that Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United will try to build from the back against Liverpool on Monday.
The Liverpool FC manager is yet to earn a win in his first two games of the season and a shock loss to United would see his side dip below their hosts in the table. He will be without former Old Trafford target Darwin Nunez for the game following his red card for violent conduct against Crystal Palace last time out.
However, his side are still predicted to dominate the game despite playing on away soil. But Klopp is well aware of what United may do when they are in possession of the ball having faced them in last month’s 4-0 pre-season friendly loss in Thailand.
