Unsurprisingly, almost everyone now seems to be relishing United’s misery as Liverpool fans and neutrals alike respond to the news by mocking the Red Devils.
United were the dominant force in the Premier League for so long under Sir Alex Ferguson and have gone badly backwards since he retired in 2013.
On paper, this weekend’s game now looks to have the makings of a massacre as LFC will be big favourites to win – and win comfortably against a Man Utd side without important players and going into the game totally off form and unconfident in basically every area of the pitch.
Here’s some reaction to the big news…
