Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea believes that Manchester United vs Liverpool is the biggest game in English football.
Manchester United and Liverpool have a rivalry that dates back to the late 19th century. Since 1894, the two clubs have played 229 matches. Today, both sides will lock horns for a 230th time at Old Trafford.
Speaking ahead of the match, De Gea told Manchester United’s programme United Review, “It’s the biggest game in England. It’s a very special game, for the fans, the club and the players and, above all, when it’s at Old Trafford, it’s always even more of an occasion. It’s just a massive game.
We aim to enjoy and, of course, we’ll be trying our best to win it! When I was in Spain, you always used to hear talk of the big rivalry and the huge game, or Clásico, between Manchester United and Liverpool. You have two very big clubs, and it’s a game to really savour.”
Mohamed Salah will be a massive threat to Manchester United but de Gea that he’s focused on more than just Salah. De Gea said, “You don’t just focus on the one player. They have got a good side with some good players individually. You prepare like you would for any other game, knowing that you are up against a very good side with some top players.”
