Murphy: Man Utd boost with Fernandes ban for Liverpool

Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy believes Manchester United will be stronger without Bruno Fernandes today.

United go to Liverpool without their captain due to suspension.

But Murphy wrote for the Daily Mail: "The United captain's suspension makes the manager's game-plan easier. Bruno is a great player but to shoehorn him into the team at Anfield, Erik ten Hag would have needed to play him out wide.

"Without him, United can be more solid with a midfield three of Sofyan Amrabat, Kobbie Mainoo and Scott McTominay, and have pace on the flanks for counter-attacks by Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony.

"If Bruno occupied one of those positions, he wouldn't be quick enough in transition and this way McTominay can get forward to support Rasmus Hojlund."
