De Gea, Karius talk Red Monday
- Updated: October 17, 2016
Rivalry, managers, team-mates – goalkeepers Loris Karius and David de Gea discuss all the major talking points ahead of Liverpool v Manchester United, live on Sky Sports 1 on Monday.
One of the fiercest rivalries in football ignites for the 2016/17 season on Monday Night Football – or ‘Red Monday’ – as the two sides meet at Anfield.
The much anticipated clash will be Karius’ first taste of a Liverpool-Manchester United derby. The 23-year-old was signed by the Reds this summer and has replaced Simon Mignolet as Jurgen Klopp’s first-choice goalkeeper.
Meanwhile, De Gea is the more experienced in terms of Premier League knowhow and has played a key role in each of United’s four straight league victories over Liverpool in recent seasons.
Ahead of the clash, we spoke exclusively to the men tasked with keeping out the opposition on a variety of topics, including managers, the opposition and what the rivalry means to them.
Lorius Karius Why Liverpool?
I saw when we were on tour how big it is around the world, there’s lots of supporters. When you walk in the stadium the atmosphere is impressive and in the city a lot of people speak to you and recognise you. They are very passionate.
The rivalry
There have been famous games between these two clubs, the rivalry is big and all the fans are very excited. It’s going to be a great atmosphere and special for the players. The games have always been on in Germany so you know what to expect. United are three points behind us and they want to move level, we can go six ahead so it’s very interesting.
