Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he has no sympathy for Erik ten Hag over his problems at Manchester United.
Liverpool go to United on Monday night.
Like United, the Reds are still awaiting their first victory of the Premier League season having opened with disappointing draws at Fulham and at home to Crystal Palace.
"Do I feel sympathy? No," says the Reds boss. "If it's football problems, we (all) have problems. I'm not sure if you go now to Man United and ask Erik ten Hag if he thinks we have a few too many injuries... it's not like this.
"The sea is full of sharks in the football world. It's not necessary that I feel sympathy. It would not help them (United), and it would not harm them that I don't do it. We all have our own problems and that's it."
He continued: "When we arrived, I don't think we hit the ground running immediately, did we?
"We played a good game at Tottenham but drew, Simon Mignolet had to make a few big saves, then there was the Europa League, we beat Bournemouth in the League Cup with Clyney's only goal he ever scored I think!
"The players here adapted quickly. I loved our first game. We had two days, and as they came back from internationals we had two days to recover and only one proper session. For a first impression of an idea, it was outstanding. I still can see Adam Lallana running around and pressing everyone. That was a really cool first sign for me.
"But it wasn't that everybody was like 'my God, you can see it immediately'. But I can say I didn't read anything, and that makes it easier because you know if you're not over the moon about your own results, you know exactly what people might say so you don't have to read it or be fussed by it. You just focus on work and go for the little steps.
"I'm pretty sure that it is in each club the same. But at the bigger clubs you talk more about them. If United or us lose, then you see the first five articles in all newspapers are about that. If other teams lose, it's not like this. If you are strong enough not to read that, then you can have an okay life and just work on the important stuff. That's what I have done in seven years and that helps me! That's the only advice I could give."
