Africa-Press – Ghana. Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard has dismissed talks of a crisis at Manchester United ahead of their Monday faceoff.
Villa will be up against United in the FA Cup with pundits putting the Gerrard side as clear favorites heading into the game following reports of unrest in the United team.
Speaking ahead of the game, Gerrard said: “I’m expecting a reaction from them. I watched the game against Wolves. There seemed to be a lot of frustration about the place. I listened to the manager, he was disappointed with the result. The fact is, they have got world-class players. It’s a real tough fixture for us. A massive challenge.
“We won’t approach this like there’s a crisis going on at United. We’ll be preparing for the best possible Manchester United because this is a team that’s going to be littered with high-end players. So, it would be foolish and naive to think we are going to play a weak team that’s having a hard time.
“I just don’t think it makes any sense for us to prepare like that, no matter what’s happening there.”
It will be the first time Gerrard will be arriving at Old Trafford as a manager having ahd fond memories at the ground as a player for Liverpool.
