Manchester United fans won’t be going into their home clash with Liverpool this weekend with a lot of confidence.
Since their opening day 4-0 win over Chelsea, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have scored just five Premier League goals in seven games (Transfermarkt).
Defensively, though, the Old Trafford side haven’t been quite as bad as they’ve conceded just eight times, with only Liverpool, Leicester and Sheffield United shipping less in the opening eight games (Premierleague.com).
Despite that, though, a lot of fans want to see Axel Tuanzebe starting.
Axel understands the importance Sunday's game holds…#MUFC #MUNLIV

The 21-year-old versatile defender may only have a valuation of £6.2m, but he’s shown what he can do this season, helping towards clean sheets in both the Europa League and Premier League at both a left-back and a centre-back.
The former Aston Villa loanee has been a part of the squad as of late, amd after playing the full 90 minutes in United’s last two Premier League clashes, these fans want to see him start yet again…
partner him with Harry

He better start in midfield on Sunday. We have to win at any cost.

However, despite having Tuanzebe speaking out ahead of the Liverpool game on the importance of the clash – comments you can read on ManUtd.com – a lot of the fans are still having none of it and are instead calling for both Ed Woodward and the Glazers’ heads in the comments…
Man United is run by politicians, nothing they say matters!!
