Mark Goldbridge has been ridiculed by fans after making a bold prediction ahead of Manchester United's trip to Liverpool.
Erik ten Hag's side travel to Anfield on Sunday to face the Premier League leaders.
They will be without several key players including captain Bruno Fernandes, Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire.

It is the first time United have visited Anfield since their 7-0 humiliation at the hands of Jurgen Klopp's side last season.
Liverpool are currently 10 points ahead of United, who were dumped out of Europe on Tuesday night after a 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich – a result which ensured they finished bottom of their Champions League group.
Despite all the signs pointing to a big win for Liverpool, YouTuber and prominent United supporter Goldbridge was in confident mood ahead of the match.

Taking to X, he posted: "So up for this Liverpool game. Just hope all the players are."
He then followed that up with a bold prediction: "Rasmus [Hojlund] winner and United win. Who's with me?"
Goldbridge's prediction has certainly raised a few eyebrows, particularly given Hojlund is yet to score in the Premier League in 12 appearances.
"Excited to come back to this when you're on the floor behind your chair again mate," replied one opposition fan.

Another added: "No chance Mark, if it happens I'll happily donate a few hundred quid to a local charity of yours."
A fellow United fan replied: "How's he gonna score if we don't even give him the ball?"
While another wrote: "No goals in the Prem and the only player who can give him any service is suspended! Deluded!"

Speaking ahead of the match, United manager Ten Hag urged his players to show their character despite the difficult circumstances.
"Well, as you say, character. That is what we definitely need," he told MUTV.
"But also, go there, and as you talk about character, and you talk about belief and confidence to go there, and everyone knows it's tough there.
"But also, it's great for a player, a team, to go there, to challenge them. And we know we have to play our best football but, I think when we do everything what we can do, what we're capable of, then we will get our opportunities.

“And then it's about taking those opportunities."
