'I don't care' - Liverpool's Fabinho draws light on upcoming game against Manchester United

One of the greatest rivals in the Premier League, Manchester United and Liverpool will lock horns with each other at Old Trafford stadium on August 22nd. The two big clubs have played against each other 38 times in the history of the tournament. Of those, United has won on 16 occasions, while Liverpool won 14 matches. The rest of the matches ended in a draw. This year, both teams have had a forgettable start as they are yet to win a game.

The Red Devils have lost two while their upcoming opponents have drawn as many games. Ahead of the highly-anticipated game, Liverpool’s Fabinho expresses his team’s keenness to beat Manchester United on their home turf. He pointed out that winning at Old Trafford isn’t easy but the fans will be happy if their team manages to do so.

“I don’t care if a win pushes them a little bit more into crisis, I just want to beat them and win three points,” the Brazilian told reporters ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Old Trafford to face United.

“It is always a big game and during the week the media talks a lot about this game. Playing there is never easy and we know that if we win the fans will be happy to beat our rivals.

“We need three points as well. It will be our first three points in the competition so there are a lot of things that give us motivation.”

It’s only the beginning of the season: Fabrinho

The Brazilian added that even though his team has only managed to draw their first two games, there isn’t a lot of nerves as it is just the beginning of the season.

“It is not the start we wanted, of course – two games, two draws – but it is only the beginning of the season,” Fabinho added.

“We are really calm about this. We know we can win the games to ensure that the gap doesn’t become too big, to the other clubs, not just City. We are calm because we know the quality of the team and there are still 36 games left.”
