" Bruno's suspension makes things easier for manager Erik ten Hag's preparations. He's an excellent midfielder, but if he's going to be on the pitch, the Manchester United manager has to position Bruno wide ," Danny Murphy commented.
The former Liverpool legend believes that Manchester United's midfield would be more solid with the trio of Sofyan Amrabat, Kobbie Mainoo, and Scott McTominay. Then, manager Erik ten Hag could utilize the speed on the flanks with Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, and Antony.
Danny Murphy also commented that if Bruno occupies one of the wing positions, he's not quick enough to transition into attack. With Bruno not playing, Scott McTominay will benefit from being able to penetrate the penalty area to support Rasmus Hojlund.
Former player Danny Murphy believes Bruno's absence makes it easier for manager Erik ten Hag to implement his tactics.
Bruno Fernandes will be unavailable for tonight's match due to suspension. He has accumulated five yellow cards and will miss one game. Besides the Portuguese midfielder, Manchester United are also likely to be without Harry Maguire. Meanwhile, players like Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Lisandro Martinez are still recovering from injuries.
Danny Murphy believes that Manchester United must accept playing as the underdog, abandoning their efforts to control possession. If the team stubbornly insists on playing an attacking game, the former Liverpool legend believes they will lose.
" I've played many matches between Liverpool and Man Utd, back when they were the strongest team in Europe. We were in the same weak position as they are now. Man Utd had to put aside their egos, accept that they weren't as good as Liverpool, and find every way to win ," said Danny Murphy.
In addition, Danny Murphy advised Erik ten Hag to give the captain's armband to Marcus Rashford. He considers the English striker one of the best players in the team. The 46-year-old former player suggested taking a risk, giving him more responsibility, and seeing how Rashford performs.
The match between Liverpool and Man Utd will take place at 11:30 PM today at Anfield Stadium.
