Alan Shearer on Manchester United v Liverpool Sunday derby

Alan Shearer’s Man Utd v Liverpool thoughts

Coral ambassador Alan Shearer sat down with our very own John Hill to exclusively share his thoughts on the upcoming Manchester United v Liverpool Sunday derby.

The Red Devils may be four spots below the second-placed Reds in the Premier League, but victory for the hosts at Old Trafford will put them just two points behind them.

You can listen to Shearer’s Man Utd v Liverpool thoughts in the video below, but we’ve also picked out the best quotes from his latest interviews…

“Mourinho has got his swagger back”

“It’s a huge game, Man Utd-Liverpool, for both sets of supporters, for the rest of the Premier League,” Shearer said.

“Man Utd are in red-hot form, been getting some fantastic results, and Liverpool – five points ahead of them – it’s a chance for them to go eight points [ahead]. But if United win, [they go] two points behind, [which is impressive] if you think [of] some of the criticism that [they’ve] had, certainly earlier on in the season.

“[Jose] Mourinho 100 per cent has got his swagger back, you can see there’s an arrogance about him – a good arrogance – that we’ve not seen for a while. He feels confident and his team is looking very confident as well.

“It’s always a fixture that the neutrals [are] looking forward to, because of the atmosphere also. Not a lot of love lost between the two football clubs. So it’s a game I’m really looking forward to.”

“There’s an expectancy now they will win”
