Liverpool Vs Manchester United: Scholes predicts winner of Matchday 8

Manchester United legend, Paul Scholes, has tipped Liverpool to defeat his former club when both sides clash in their highly anticipated Premier League encounter after the international break.

Liverpool, led by new manager Arne Slot, will host Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United at Anfield in what promises to be a tense and emotional battle between two of England’s fiercest rivals.

The Reds will be seeking redemption after suffering a narrow 2-1 defeat to Chelsea in their last outing.

Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, Scholes expressed little confidence in Manchester United’s ability to turn their fortunes around, describing their current form as deeply concerning.

“Amorim needs to try and get something from Liverpool at Anfield,” Scholes said.

“But honestly, I can’t remember the last time Manchester United won a big game. This group of players are in such a bad rut that you have no confidence they can get out of it. It’s almost predictable that they’ll go to Anfield and get beaten.”

The former England midfielder’s comments reflect the growing frustration among Manchester United supporters, as the team continues to struggle for consistency despite a change in management.

United’s defensive frailties and lack of creativity in midfield have raised serious questions about their ability to compete with top clubs this season.

Liverpool, on the other hand, have shown flashes of brilliance under Slot, maintaining their trademark attacking intensity and fluid passing style.

The Anfield faithful will be expecting a strong response from their team as they aim to close the gap on Premier League leaders Manchester City.

As both teams prepare for the showdown, pundits and fans alike agree that the match could be a defining moment for Amorim’s reign at Old Trafford.

Anything short of a spirited performance could increase pressure on the Portuguese tactician, whose future has already become a topic of heated debate.

With pride, history, and crucial league points at stake, all eyes will be on Anfield  where Paul Scholes believes the result is all but certain: Liverpool to beat Manchester United once again.
