" Bruno's suspension makes it easier for coach Erik ten Hag to prepare. He is an excellent midfielder but if he is put on the pitch, the Man Utd head coach must play Bruno wide ," said Danny Murphy.
The former Liverpool man believes Man Utd's midfield will be more solid with the midfield trio of Sofyan Amrabat, Kobbie Mainoo and Scott McTominay. Coach Erik ten Hag can then take advantage of the speed on the wing with Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony.
Danny Murphy also commented that if Bruno occupies one of the wide positions, he is not quick enough to transition into an attacking state. With Bruno not playing, Scott McTominay will benefit by being able to penetrate the penalty area to support Rasmus Hojlund.
Former player Danny Murphy believes Bruno's absence makes it easier for coach Erik ten Hag to deploy tactics.
In tonight's match, Bruno Fernandes will not play due to suspension. He received 5 yellow cards and will have to sit out 1 match. In addition to the Portuguese midfielder, Man Utd will likely not have the service of Harry Maguire. Meanwhile, players such as Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez have not recovered from injury.
Danny Murphy believes that Man Utd must accept playing as underdogs and give up trying to control the ball. If the team insists on playing an open game, the former Liverpool player believes they will lose.
" I played many matches between Liverpool and Man Utd, when they were the strongest team in Europe. We were in a weak position like they are now. Man Utd had to put aside their ego, accept that they were not as good as Liverpool and find every way to win ," said Danny Murphy.
Danny Murphy also advised Erik ten Hag to give the captain's armband to Marcus Rashford. He rated the English striker as one of the best players in the team. The 46-year-old former player advised him to take a risk, give him more responsibility and wait to see how Rashford does.
The match between Liverpool and Man Utd will take place at 11:30 p.m. today, at Anfield Stadium.
