Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has ignited the war of words between the Reds and Manchester United after he mocked the Red Devils for their style of play.

Manchester United and Liverpool meet at Old Trafford in a mouthwatering Premier League clash on Saturday afternoon in the keenly contested battle for second spot.

Speaking ahead of the game, Lovren said: “Liverpool are not Manchester United – we never play just for a point like them. ”

A win for Liverpool will be enough to take them into second spot ahead of their rivals and opponents Manchester United.
