Irving talks about the Double Reds: Manchester United can set up a bus to defend in the away game, but the pressure is not as great at home

October 18th Michael Owen was interviewed recently and talked about the upcoming Double Red Club.

Irving said: "No matter who Liverpool faces after the offseason, they need to get back on track. After losing to Crystal Palace, Galatasaray and Chelsea on the road, they should be happy to return to the home fans. Their record against Manchester United in recent years has been quite good. Manchester United will not look forward to playing at Anfield, and no team will look forward to going to Anfield."

"Having said that, I have a small thought in my heart. It is more beneficial for Manchester United to play at Anfield now than to fight at Old Trafford. At Old Trafford, you must show some ambition, and even if you may pay a heavy price for it, you must take the initiative. You must go all out and take some risks."

"You are in front of the home fans. Before the game, they had such a request. And at Anfield, I think even if you set up a bus formation and all the players retreat to counterattack, you won't be criticized. This situation may be more suitable for Manchester United. They are most afraid of the space behind the defensive line, and the defenders lack speed. Sticking to the edge of the penalty area to defend will play into Manchester United's wishes. "

"Their defenders may be the best in the league at defending on the edge of the penalty area. They are a group of tall and powerful traditional central defenders in clearing headers and volleying. This game could be beneficial to Manchester United in many aspects, provided they aim for a 0-0 scoreline and perhaps wait for an opportunity to counterattack Liverpool. I speculate that there will be a situation where Liverpool holds the ball for a long time and tries to open up the defense, while Manchester United waits for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.
