Man United are currently bottom of the Premier League table, having lost their opening two games to Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford, and are 12th after drawing their first two games against last season's runners-up Liverpool, Fulham and Crystal Palace. Erik ten Haag would have been under no illusions about the size of the task he faced at Old Trafford when he took over the job in May, but the reality of the situation became more apparent to the 52-year-old early on. Phases of his reign as Red Devils boss.
Man United opened their 2022-23 Premier League campaign with a 2-1 home defeat to Brighton on August 7, followed by a shock 4-0 defeat at Brentford last weekend, with all of the home team's goals coming in the first half of the match. Both defeats, and an already poor goal difference, leave the Red Devils bottom of the division, and another loss on Monday evening will put more pressure on Ten Haag, who he has arguably been tasked with helping to rebuild. The biggest football club on the planet. The team's summer transfer business has been the best so far, bringing in Tyrell Malaysia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez, but a deal for Casemiro has now been agreed and the club are believed to be working on two or three additions. At the end of the transfer window, including Ajax's Anthony.
There isn't much to read into the league table at this stage of the campaign, but a win against Liverpool, who have just two points from their first two games, would lift the 20-time English champions above their division rivals. Act as a springboard for a stronger run. Man United travel to Leicester City in early September and end August with a trip to Southampton three days before a big game against Arsenal at Old Trafford. The Gunners have made a good start to the season, while Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are tipped to be back in front as they challenge for the top four this season.
The Red Devils finished sixth last season, 13 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham, signaling the turnaround that needs to happen for the club to return to the Champions League places; Casemiro's arrival is a big step in the right direction, but more signings are needed before the end of the window. Liverpool were embarrassed by Man United in their two Premier League games last season, losing 5-0 at Old Trafford and 4-0 at Anfield; The Red Devils have not beaten their opponents in England's top flight since March 2018, with Jurgen Klopp's side winning each of their last three league meetings.
The Cristiano Ronaldo transfer saga continues to dominate the headlines and it will be interesting to see if the Portugal international is again in the starting line-up for this match; The match could represent his final game for Man United at Old Trafford, with an exit before the end of the month still a strong possibility. Such is the level that Liverpool and Manchester City have set in recent seasons, back-to-back draws for the Reds at the start of the new Premier League season are not ideal, especially considering Man City won their opener. Two games in, they are already four points clear of the Merseyside giants. Liverpool twice came from behind against Fulham on the opening weekend of the campaign to earn a point in a 2-2 draw, while they conceded first against Crystal Palace on Monday through Wilfried Zaha, just before Luis Diaz leveled the scores. hour Darwin Nunez was sent off against Patrick Vieira's side, ruling him out of the trip to Old Trafford, while the Reds have injury problems and will need to be careful not to allow Man City to open up a healthy advantage. In the early stages of the campaign.
Klopp's side have back-to-back home games after this match against Bournemouth and Newcastle United before the short matter of a trip to Goodison Park to face Everton in the Merseyside derby. Liverpool beat Man City in last season's Premier League, missing out on the title by just one point, and won the FA Cup and EFL Cup double last time out, beating Chelsea in both finals.
