Jose Enrique can't see past his former side when Liverpool take on Manchester United this weekend - and he thinks United could be on the end of a thrashing. 

The two great rivals meet in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, with the Reds looking to continue their quest for four trophies this season. While for Erik ten Hag, the competition presents the club's last chance of silverware. 

Speaking to Grosvenor Sport, former defender Enrique is tipping Jurgen Klopp's men to win - and win big.

“I don’t fancy Manchester United to get a result on Sunday,” Enrique said on this week’s episode of The Counter Attack.

“Obviously when I was at Liverpool I didn’t get to experience them being this superior to Manchester United – it was more of a 50/50 when I played and sometimes United were the better team.

"This is still a difficult game for Liverpool, but I really think they are going to win.

“Manchester United are actually playing worse at Old Trafford than when they play away from home – it’s not the same as it used to be when I was playing.

"I’d love Liverpool to pick up a really big win here – I’m going to go with 5-0 to them. They’re scoring so many goals at the moment and their attack is as good as it’s been all season. I’d love a big result like that – firstly for Liverpool but also for Jurgen Klopp.”
