They can’t lose.
Liverpool versus Manchester United. It happened, it actually happened.
The Europa League draw has thrown up some clinker ties, not least the clash of England’s two most successful clubs and two most bitter rivals.
Liverpool host Manchester United on March 10 before making the trek down the motorway to Old Trafford for the return leg on March 17.
It’s a tough clash for both of them but if Louis van Gaal is to keep his astounding record against Liverpool going, then it can only be good news for Anfield.
Why?
We’ll let Jamie tell you why.
Great Europa League draw for LFC, if we win happy days if we lose LVG will probably stay!!

Liverpool might have the last laugh but Louis van Gaal will certainly have the first – or fifth – if his record against them is to continue.
Louis van Gaal v Liverpool
Played: 4
Won: 4
Drawn: 0
Lost: 0 (just in case you couldn’t work that out)
Goals scored: 9
Conceded: 2
Overall scoreline under Louis:
Manchester United 9-2 Liverpool (just in case you couldn’t work that out)
The last game at Anfield though (0-1 on January 17) was a smash and grab by United, but it was a grab no less.
The question to Liverpool fans is this: Would you rather beat United and go through or just keep van Gaal at Old Trafford for a while longer? For the craic.
