Reason why Manchester United have sprayed garlic on Old Trafford pitch ahead of Liverpool clash

Manchester United will be hosting Liverpool on Sunday, February 24 in the Premier League. Ahead of the game, the Red Devils have sprayed garlic on Old Trafford pitch. United aim to beat Liverpool, having played a game less, sit 2nd behind Manchester City, while sharing same points (65), in the league table. Meanwhile, the Red Devils have 51 points and are 4th. As per Mirror, the reason for coating the pitch in garlic is to protect the grass from parasites. The technique has in fact been used by a number of clubs in the English top flight this season looking to keep their ground in tip-top shape.
