Clash of titans at Old Trafford

Next up for Manchester United is their English Premier League encounter with Merseyside giants Liverpool at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.

And Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho has told his team that their attention must now be on finishing second in the Premier League table.

The Old Trafford club are trying to at least qualify for Champions League football after they ended up in sixth position in Jose Mourinho’s first season in charge at the side last season.

The Red Devils did seal their place in the UEFA Champions League for this campaign, though, by winning the UEFA Europa League last season.
