Manchester United And Liverpool Fans Rank Players From The Two Sides

A couple of fans have listed Manchester United and Liverpool players and unsurprisingly it doesn't make good reading for the Old Trafford side.

United go into today's game against rivals Liverpool already 15 points and 13 places behind them in the Premier League and entered the weekend with the threat of dropping into the relegation zone.

It's no surprise then that, in a list by two fans, Liverpool players took up the top five positions and United players took up the bottom four, it was only a surprise it wasn't more heavily in the favour of Jurgen Klopp's players.

Man Utd fan Adam McKola of FullTimeDevils and Liverpool supporter Paul Machin of The Redmen TV listed the players for Squawka and just about came to an agreement, with Virgil van Dijk leading the way:

Jesse Lingard

Mason Greenwood

Joe Gomez / Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Luke Shaw

Angel Gomes

Diogo Dalot

Tahith Chong

Juan Mata

Andreas Pereira

Adrian

Adam Lallana

Dejan Lovren

Fred

Marcos Rojo

Ashley Young

Nemanja Matic

The list shows exactly how difficult a job Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has in general and especially on Sunday when his team take on Klopp's, who are yet to drop a point in the league this season.

Things might have been different if they still had Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez, Ander Herrera or Marouane Fellaini, who are all better than their current crop, or if they'd been replaced in the summer.

United need a lot of good recruitment if they're to have more players further up the list and to get close to their rivals on the pitch.
