Former Liverpool and England midfielder John Barnes has taken a swipe at Manchester United's forwards for their work-rate out-of-possession.
Barnes, working as a pundit for Sky Sports, addressed United's front-four while previewing Liverpool's Premier League clash with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The 58-year-old was reacting to Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp's decision to include attacking quartet Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and summer signing Darwin Nunez in his starting line-up.
Their inclusions in the team meant that Klopp deployed a central-midfield paring of Jordan Henderson and Thiago, choosing to leave Fabinho on the bench. Liverpool have been renowned for fielding a midfield trio as part of a 4-3-3 system in recent years.
