'We're going to lose 8-0': Furious Man United fan has wild prediction for Liverpool game
talkSPORT's Andy Goldstein admitted he fears the worst for Manchester United's trip to Liverpool this weekend in a furious rant.
He red devils They are going through a difficult season and are currently 14th in the Premier League, and results have not improved since the introduction of the new head coach. Ruben Amorim in November.
Having suffered four consecutive defeats, there is arguably no worse time for United to be facing Liverpool's bitter rival.
Arne Slot's side They are flying high and have a six-point gap at the top of the table heading into Sunday's game, after a resounding 5-0 victory at West Ham.
And the contrasting fortunes of the two teams have left avid United fans Goldstein He fears that his team could suffer humiliation at Anfield.
So much so that the presenter believes that Amorim's group of players could lose up to 8-0 to their sworn enemies.
speaking in talkSPORT Drive together with Darren Bent, the presenter highlighted the recent 6-3 victory at Tottenham as an indicator of the enormous attacking threat United will face.
Goldstein said: “This weekend, and I'm not kidding, Man United are playing Liverpool, I think they are the best team on the planet at the moment.
“We saw that when they went to Spurs, they scored six goals against Spurs, who by the way were weakened.”
He continued: “But having said that, it was at Spurs. “This is at Anfield.”
Goldstein then reminded the co-host Bent another day to forget for United in recent years, when they were 7-0 win at Anfield in March 2023, and asked if he felt there could be a worse outcome this weekend.

“Let me ask you two questions, right? Is it inconceivable that United could be 5-0 down at half-time on Sunday?”
To this, Bent replied: “No.”
Goldstein then asked his colleague: “Is it possible that Liverpool can score three goals in the second half?”, to which Bent agreed.
Continuing his furious rant, the Red Devils fan continued: “Right. Man United could lose 8-0 at the weekend. I doubt it and it could be 3-0 or 4-0, right?
“If Manchester United lose 8-0, or let's say 6-0, because 8-0 is a bit crazy, where do you go from there?”

Among them was the 39-year-old's continued use of the back three system, despite the Red Devils scoring 11 goals in their four consecutive defeats.
While Goldstein admitted that he feels Amorim is still the right man for the job, he criticized his reluctance to change tactics.
He said: “All I'll say is I haven't seen anything yet. Generally, when a new manager comes in, you know he or she is the right person. You say, 'I see where he's going, I see what he's trying to do.'
“But he hasn't changed anything. We constantly criticize Ange Postecoglou for only having plan A. Well, Ruben Amorim, until now he has only had plan A and is playing as a three at the back.
“And he says, 'We can't change it. If we change it, we are broken, dead.'
“And I understand all that, but you have to have a plan. If it doesn't work, you have to have a plan B.”
