Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists facing Liverpool is the "perfect game" for Manchester United after the international break.
The Red Devils will reassess this week after Sunday's 1-0 loss to Newcastle United, which leaves them in 12th on the Premier League table.
And Solskjaer has said facing the league leaders will be a good thing for his team.
He told MUTV: "Liverpool is a perfect game for us. The international break is also at the perfect time because their heads need a bit of airing.
"It wouldn't help to have a meeting tomorrow. They will go away with their national teams, meet their team-mates and come back fresh.
"We have had a good time together, we have prepared since the first day of pre-season, we have stuck to the same principles. We have not got the result today but we have to keep carrying on."
