Ahead of the upcoming clash against Liverpool at Anfield, Paul Pogba decided to taunt the Reds with a bold prediction of his own. 

Paul Pogba loves facing strong opponents like Liverpool as he will probably do on Sunday. Manchester United is about to play one of the most important matches of the season against the direct title contender. The Red Devils recently took the top of the Premier League table from Jurgen Klopp’s side.

However, the locals will have their chance to get it back when Solskjaer’s squad visits them. Paul Pogba is a major player for United’s revival in recent weeks. His volley at Burnley was the reason they became leaders during the midweek fixture. As Sunday approaches, the club decided to publish an interview where Pogba makes a bold prediction for this exciting match. 

Pogba feels confident about playing at Anfield. 

This is what Pogba said on Manchester United’s website: “We know the story. We know it’s Liverpool. Everybody knows it. They’re second, they know we’re first. If we win we have six points [on them], everybody knows that. It’s not the game, yes it’s a game and it’s going to be a hard game. But I don’t think this game will decide the league. I know it’s going to make a difference, but it won’t decide the league. We have to take it as a hard game in the league, not as the game. There are going to be a lot of games that will make the difference and be very important.

“I know it’s an important game, but all the games are. We don’t have to make it too much about ‘ah it’s the game’. It’s Liverpool and when it’s Liverpool it’s always a big game, we know that. We just have to keep calm and keep our focus and we’ll see. Of course, it’s Liverpool, the neighbours, we know the story. I know the story. When you arrive in Manchester you know the story about Liverpool and Manchester United. We know it’s a big game. When you play at United there are always big games but this one is a battle. It’s going to be a battle.”
