Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has been sent advice on how to prepare to face Liverpool.
The Reds take on Man United in their next Premier League clash on Monday night. It follows on from their last fixture, which saw them draw with Crystal Palace at the start of the week.
United suffered a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Brentford at the weekend. That defeat has sparked plenty of speculation over the situation at Old Trafford.

Liverpool have fond memories of their recent visits to the home of their bitter rivals. The 5-0 win last October followed on from a 4-2 victory the previous seasons few months earlier.
After United’s loss to Brentford, there has been speculation over whether or not Ten Hag will make significant changes to his line-up. There have been reports that club captain Harry Maguire could be dropped for the clash against Liverpool.
Former United forward Nani has listed two things that Ten Hag must do to prepare his team to face Liverpool. The ex-Portugal international went on suggest what may be going on in training in the days leading up to the match.
"I think the manager could do two things," said Nani, speaking on Rio Ferdinand’s Five podcast . "Don't say nothing.
"The next game we know he will change a lot and then every player that week will be thinking: 'Ooh the manager is angry and not saying nothing'. Then they will be thinking: 'Who is going to play?'
"That way everyone is fighting on the field. Rio will know that because we have had some situation when we lose, even 1-0 or 2-1 against Liverpool or something like that.
"Or he will try to talk to everyone and point to the responsibility of each player. But I prefer the one where he don't say nothing because you can have a bad day, it can happen, but it will make the players think: 'I need to change or I am not good enough'."
