Nemanja Matic fires warning at Liverpool after Manchester United’s win over Burnley

Nemanja Matic has sent a message to Liverpool ahead of the clash at Anfield following their 1-0 win over Burnley on Tuesday. With the win, United are currently leading the league table with 36 points, 3 points ahead of second-placed Liverpool. Paul Pogba's goal in the 71st minute helped Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side to collect the important three points. The Red Devils will face the Reds on Sunday, January 17. "I think that these sort of wins show that we are ready to compete for the title," Matic told Premier League Productions. "Sometimes we have looked like a team who wants to score as soon as possible, then we get panicked. "But I think today we showed more maturity, we showed we are more clever. And on this pitch, at this stadium against Burnley is always hard to win the games, not to concede a goal from long balls and set-pieces. "We prepared the game well and I think we deserved these three points." "We have a lot of quality in our team and in these kind of games you have to use that," he continued. "You have to be patient, not to panic, because when you have that much quality over 90 minutes, one situation will decide and that was exactly what we did today. "I’m happy for the team, for the team performance and the team spirit. "Let’s see on Sunday against Liverpool. It’s the biggest derby in England and we go there to compete with them, to see where we are, one of the best teams in the league so I think that we are ready." "We’ve played 17 games and we’re top of the table so that shows something," Matic added. "We didn’t play five or six games and are top where you can say it’s lucky. "After 17 games, it’s definitely not lucky and definitely there is quality. "But we can’t relax, we have to concentrate until the end to go game by game. The next one is always the most important." source - Metro / Join us on Telegram
