Around 10,000 United fans plan to march ahead of kick-off against owner Joel Glazer amid fears that squads will also try to invade the pitch and block access to Old Trafford. The season before last year’s United-Liverpool clash on April 10 was canceled after a large demonstration led to fans clashing with police while other fans held up the team bus. Jurgen Klopp has called for points to be awarded to his side if Monday’s game is postponed Last year’s clash between the two was postponed after fans stormed the Old Trafford pitch On that occasion, the match was rescheduled, with Liverpool winning 4-2, but Klopp believes his side should not be forced to push for an extra game again when they would have been faultless for any cancellation. “I really hope it doesn’t happen, but if it does I think we should get the points,” he said. “We have nothing to do with the situation if United fans don’t want the game to be played. We can’t just rearrange the game again and try to fit it somewhere in an incredibly busy period.’ Liverpool already have 25 games to play before the World Cup in November. “We will take United, play the game and go home,” Klopp said. “I have no idea what could happen. But in such a situation, the other team should get the points because it has nothing to do with it. We have prepared for the game.’ Liverpool still have 25 games to play before the World Cup in Qatar later this year The leaders of various United supporters’ organisations, including the influential 1958 group, have been communicating on WhatsApp to avoid last season’s problems. Thousands will march from the Tollgate pub near Old Trafford an hour before kick-off at 8pm, ending at the famous Trinity statue outside the stadium, featuring club legends George Best, Denis Law and Sir Bobby Charlton. The Glazers have tried to appease fans by opening talks to sell a minority stake in the club and sign midfielder Casemiro from Real Madrid, after a disastrous start to the season that saw them slump to bottom of the table with a 4-0 defeat in last weekend. defeat at Brentford. There is widespread opposition to the owners, with the club nearly £500m in debt. British billionaire Sir James Ratcliffe is among those interested in buying United should it be sold. Abrams and Joel Glazer have come under fire from Manchester United fans Fans regularly call for the Glazer family to sell the club and have held several protests Klopp, however, has no sympathy for his counterpart Erik ten Hag and revealed he has to plan for a different type of United team every time they change managers. Ten Haag is the sixth player in the ‘hotseat’ at Old Trafford since Klopp joined Liverpool, following in the footsteps of Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and interims Michael Carrick and Ralf Rangnick. He gave the United team a disjointed look and the German said: “All the managers played differently – Van Gaal and Mourinho very different. So we have to prepare completely differently. Otherwise it would make me redundant as a coach if football always looked the same. “Imagine the money Liverpool have saved by not paying all these managers – I should have said that when I signed my last contract! “It is not necessary to feel sympathy for Ten Haag. If it’s football problems, we have problems. I’m not sure you’d go to Manchester United and ask if we’ve got too many injuries. “The world of football is a sea of sharks. Being sympathetic will neither help them nor hurt them. We all have our problems and that’s it.’ Erik ten Hag’s side have lost both of their Premier League games so far this season Liverpool have easily won their last two games at Old Trafford, scoring nine goals. And if Klopp manages a hat-trick, he will become the first Liverpool manager since Gerard Houllier to beat United three times away from home. They have a long injury list, which includes Thiago Alcantara, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Joel Matip, Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota, but striker Roberto Firmino is fit to return in place of the suspended Darwin Nunez. United have struggled to adapt to play from the back and lively pressing. Rangnick abandoned the pressing scheme last season, claiming the players couldn’t do it, and there were defensive howls at Brentford. The Glazers have tried to rebuild their relationship with their fans, but have yet to succeed United lost 5-0 at home to Liverpool last season and are up against them again this time Klopp’s own experience was different, with the Liverpool team seeming to buy into his ‘heavy metal football’ immediately. “I liked our first game [a 0-0 draw at Spurs],’ he said. We only had two days to recover from an international break, with only one session. “On first impression, it was excellent. I can still see Adam Lallana flying around and pushing everyone in a different shirt. That was really cool. “I don’t think we achieved results. I didn’t read anything about us because you don’t need to be bothered by all this when you are focused on work and taking the small steps. “My players could probably play good Pep Guardiola football if I could coach it. “You could see from pre-season how Ten Haag wants to play. This is clear when you get to know the Ajax team. “But I can’t sit here before we play United and tell them how to do it – that’s not my thing.”
