Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes cannot hide fear about Man United's trip to Liverpool




Rio Ferdinand has pleaded with Manchester United players to be "aggressive and brave" when facing Liverpool


It was another night to forget for the Red Devils yesterday evening, suffering a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich



Tuesday's result has ensured United have now lost half of their 24 matches played this campaign


United have not won at the home of the Reds since 2016 and are not fancied to end their wait for an away win



Ferdinand


"We [Paul Scholes] were talking before, saying 'Do you remember what it was like going to Anfield?' What that feeling was like playing against Liverpool.


"You take as minimal touches as you can, you try and play your way into the game slowly - but you've got to be aggressive and brave.


"You've got to have the courage to take the ball, be willing to fight and roll your sleeves up. That's before any quality, any passing, shooting or skills. Go in there and understand the assignment."



Scholes added:


“The big worry for me has got to be the centre-forward. We can't create a chance.


“He’s [Rasmus Hojlund] scored five goals in the Champions League but he’s not scored a league goal, he hasn't had a chance tonight, I don't think he had a chance on Saturday. It's a big concern where goals are going to come from.


“You expect creativity from your wide players, Antony and [Alejandro] Garnacho, but they're quite selfish players.


"They’re players who are looking up and thinking about scoring their own goals. From last year, they've not got [Marcus] Rashford, who was flying last year and not been that type of form this year.”
