The Red Devils have been steadily rising up the table and will move level on points with the Reds if they win their game in hand.
Manchester United have significantly cut their deficit against Liverpool in the Premier League title race in recent weeks, and Steve Nicol believes that should be a ‘concern’ for Jurgen Klopp.
A last-gasp winner against Wolves perfectly depicted the habit of getting the job done without always catching the eye that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men have developed lately.
The 1-0 win on Tuesday saw Man United stretch their unbeaten streak in the league to nine matches.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are without a win in their last two games. After dismantling Crystal Palace 7-0, they were held to a draw by West Brom and then Newcastle United.
The Reds remain at the top of the table but the Red Devils are now breathing down their neck with just three points between them despite the latter having played a game less.
“You look at Liverpool’s result and Man Utd’s result, the performance from one team that dominated the game, should have won very, very comfortably but yet end up with one point and then you’ve got a team in United coming up on the rails who pretty much didn’t deserve anything,” former Liverpool defender Nicol told ESPN FC.
“There’s no way they deserve to win this game [against Wolves] but they end up winning and getting three points. So that has to be a concern
“At the end of the day, Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp will be looking at themselves, try not to look elsewhere, and just get the job done. But you have to be concerned with United because regardless of how they play right now, they’re getting victories.”
