Luke Shaw insists that playing at Anfield is business as usual for him, even though he fully acknowledges the intense hostility that comes with facing Liverpool on their own turf. Softfootball expected them to back their dominant 2-0 victory against Sunderland with a strong display at Anfield.
The Manchester United left-back has featured at Anfield several times throughout his career, first with Southampton and now with United, and he knows exactly what to expect when the team bus rolls into L4. Shaw could make yet another appearance there this Sunday as Ruben Amorim's side prepare for a crucial Premier League clash against their long-standing rivals.
Speaking in an interview as revealed via Manchester Uniteds official website , Shaw opened up about the charged atmosphere that surrounds the fixture, saying the tension begins well before kick-off. The England international said the rivalry and intensity are simply part of football's drama, something that motivates rather than intimidates him, words also echoed by teammate Matheus Cunha, who promised to use all the pressure of playing for United to his advantage.
