Brendan Rodgers says that this Saturday will be a great day for the club and the city as Man Utd come to town<\/p>\n
Rodgers told the Evening Post\u00a0“Manchester United are the biggest club in the world<\/p>\n
“They’ve got a wonderful history and it’s going to be a great day for the city when we entertain such a great club.<\/p>\n
“But we’re not a fearful group \u2014 we have a great belief in what we do.<\/p>\n
“We accept any challenges and Manchester United, the current league champions, present us with a great challenge.<\/p>\n
“I was at Manchester United as a youngster and I had friends that joined later on,” said the Swansea manager. “Since my time there as a young boy, when I used to travel over from Ireland, I’ve always kept my eye on them.<\/p>\n
“Chelsea were the side that broke the Arsenal-Manchester United domination and I was fortunate to be at the club at that time.<\/p>\n
“At the time Chelsea were a rival to Manchester United, but if you look at what they’ve done since then, they embraced that challenge.<\/p>\n
“They had to find ways of combating us and they did that \u2014 they won the title back a couple of times.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think you can view them with anything but respect,” added Rodgers.<\/p>\n
“They’ve consistently been winners.<\/p>\n
“From our point of view, psychologically, to go to a club like Liverpool, to a ground like Anfield and get a point will give the players great confidence.<\/p>\n
“We’re a team that has grown to this level so that was an important moment for the mentality of the group.<\/p>\n
“That will hopefully bode well for us going forward.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
