Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher has warned against complacency when Liverpool visit Old Trafford this coming Sunday.

The scousers have endured a torrid season thus far, going out of the Champions League at the group stage and looking doubtful to clinch the 4th Champions League spot.

They do have a good record against United of late though, having beaten the champions the last 3 times they’ve played.

“It would be very dangerous to think this is a poor Liverpool side coming to Old Trafford because they are anything but,” he told the Manchester Evening News. “It would be a huge mistake to think that Liverpool are not a threat. They maybe haven’t had the season we expected after last year but they are still a dangerous side.

“They are still in the main the same team. We know what they are capable of and pushed us all the way and dished out that defeat here and the one at Anfield this season. They are still fresh in our memories. Liverpool still have a lot to play for because they are battling for fourth spot. They are capable of beating anyone.

“We have to learn the lessons from last year’s game. The warnings are there. If you are not 100% focused and you make mistakes they will punish you. It is a real surprise to me they haven’t been up with us. But they will still be fired up to win at Old Trafford again.”
