Overview
United come into this fixture after a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Swansea City before the international break. It marked the first time the Red Devils conceded in the league, after keeping a clean slate three times before the clash against the Welsh club.
Louis van Gaal's side have been handed a massive boost after their goalkeeper David de Gea signed a new contract to extend his stay at Old Trafford. It is likely the Spaniard could start against the Reds on Saturday.
Deadline-day signing Anthony Martial, who arrived from AS Monaco, could make his debut for United in front of home fans. It is still not clear whether the French international could start in the next league clash.
Meanwhile, Liverpool enter this fixture after a 3-0 defeat at the hands of West Ham United at Anfield. The same clash saw Reds midfielder Philippe Coutinho receive two yellow cards. Consequently, the Brazilian international will sit out the tie against United.
The defeat against West Ham was Brendan Rodgers' side first of the season. The Merseyside club will be looking to bounce back when they face their arch-rivals at Old Trafford on 12 September.
What managers say
Louis van Gaal: "I have a superb relationship with my players. Maybe you have to consider how many players are coming to the manager to say something. In my career as a manager, I didn't have so many players who are coming to say something about the atmosphere in the dressing room, about the way we train, or something like that."
Brendan Rodgers: "United is a huge club and will always be under scrutiny. The intensity of this fixture is still there. The players will feel it. It's a good opportunity for us on the back of a disappointment. It's a chance to put that behind us."
