Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has put match officials on notice ahead of today's clash at Manchester United.

Klopp has warned Mohamed Salah searching for his first goal against Manchester United to beware of old-school" challenges as Liverpool head to their big rivals desperate to keep their 100 per cent winning Premier League record this season intact.

It is difficult to know what he's thinking. If someone had told me he'd never scored against United I would have said, 'Really?' I suppose the more you go without scoring against an opponent there may be one moment when you start scoring against them," said Klopp.

All these games are big tests. I don't see it as a specific test for him, but, yes, it is a big test. And sometimes there will be 'old-school challenges' and you have to be ready for them.

"That is how it is. But there is a reason for these stories, just like our history against United away, such as the stadium or the intensity of the game.

We've got closer, closer and closer since I've been here, but still it has not happened.

The Europa League game there was a sensational game, but the league game there last season was not. If there had been a winner, it would have been us."
