Could see Manchester United winning game against Liverpool, admits Jamie Carragher

This saw them bring an end to a poor run of form as the Red Devils had suffered a run of five defeats from their previous seven games before the clash against Atalanta and some pressure was eased off United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's shoulders. In light of that, Jamie Carragher admitted that the victory could act as a catalyst for Manchester United to go on and beat Liverpool at home soil. He also added that Old Trafford is a venue where Liverpool have historically struggled at over the years.

"I could see Man United winning this game. I think certainly on the back of what happened on Wednesday night, the atmosphere will be fantastic, especially at the start of the game. Man United at home against Liverpool notoriously, going back 10 or 15 years, they've had Liverpool's number in the fixture. Liverpool have found it really difficult to win at Old Trafford and going back a long time, even the great Liverpool teams, it's always been a venue Liverpool have struggled at,” Carragher told the Essential Football Podcast.
