Liverpool ace calls out Ibrahimovic and Pogba ahead of Man United clash

EMRE CAN claims Liverpool have the quality in their squad to handle Manchester United’s summer signings.

Jose Mourinho’s arrival at Old Trafford was accompanied by a host of star players, including former Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba and star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

All told the Red Devils brought in more than £150m worth of transfers in the summer window.

Liverpool spent a comparatively modest £68m as they purchased the likes of Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum to bolster their squad.

But Can, who joined the Reds for £10m back in the summer of 2014, reckons his side can still go toe-to-toe with United despite the gulf in price tags.

Speaking of Pogba and Ibrahimovic, Can said: “We are confident about matching that, we have a very strong squad.

“They are both very good players, we know that, but we have bought very good players as well. We are confident enough and we want to win the game.”

“We are confident enough and we want to win the game”

Can added that he’s hoping the Liverpool fans can lift their side to victory.

“The atmosphere is always special and, for me, is one of the best atmospheres in the world, maybe the best one,” he continued.

“Our fans are great. They have to show that again against Manchester United.

“They are like the 12th man for us. If they push us, of course it’s different on the pitch. It’s always nice to play in front of the amazing fans.

“Hopefully against Manchester United it will be the same and we will all together win the game.”
