JAKARTA - Manchester United will play away to Anfield Stadium to meet Liverpool in the 2021/2022 English League continued on Wednesday, April 20 in the morning WIB. This match is believed to be fierce because of the prestige of both teams.

Paul Pogba is one of the players who will be Manchester United's mainstay in this match. Even though he will continue to fast during the match, it is believed that Pogba will not face any significant problems.

Manchester United manager, Ralf Rangnick, was asked to rest the French player. However, Rangnick seems to refuse and believes Pogba's performance will remain the same.

"As a professional player, he is used to it (fasting) and he knows how to handle it and deal with it," Rangnick said, quoted from the official Manchester United website.

"Actually I haven't talked about this, but I don't think it will affect his performance. As far as I know, he's fasting, but I haven't spoken to him directly," continued Rangnick.

Rangnick also explained that the reason he pulled Pogba off the field in the match against Norwich on Saturday, April 16 was not because the player was fasting. Pogba was withdrawn in the 74th minute and replaced by Juan Mata because the former RB Leipzig coach really wanted to field players who were still prime to boost the team's performance.

Meanwhile, Manchester United itself is currently in big trouble ahead of Liverpool. The reason, Cristiano Ronaldo is doubtful to appear because he is grieving because his son died during childbirth.

Meanwhile, Raphael Varane, Edinson Cavani and Luke Shaw are still ruled out due to injury. Luckily, Bruno Fernandes is believed to be able to play even though he had previously had an accident.
