Rooney Predicts a Draw as Manchester United Head into Clash with Liverpool at Anfield
Former United striker and club legend Wayne Rooney has offered his forecast ahead of the Premier League match between Manchester United and Liverpool, suggesting that his former side may be satisfied with a single point.
Rooney emphasised that the greater pressure for the fixture rests on Liverpool, given their recent slump in form, and that United supporters might regard a draw as a favourable outcome considering the circumstances.
He noted:
“I think the pressure for this game is on Liverpool. United fans won’t be expecting three points in this one. If we can get a draw, I think everyone will be happy with that.”

His comments underline the shifting expectations around both clubs. Liverpool, long accustomed to setting the pace in the English game, now appear to be under strain, whereas United, though still striving for consistency, may see value in securing at least a draw away from home.
As the two sides prepare for what promises to be a high-stakes encounter at Anfield, Rooney’s prediction adds another dimension to the narrative: one of cautious aspiration for United and looming urgency for Liverpool.
