Simon Mignolet: 'Manchester United game will be tough'

Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has insisted that his side will attempt to focus on their own performance when they face Manchester United on Sunday.

The Merseyside outfit currently sit in second position in the table after four league victories in a row, but despite expectations rising around Anfield, Mignolet believes that the Reds will be in for a "tough" test when they travel to Old Trafford.

The 26-year-old told Sky Sports News: "If you go away to Old Trafford and you play Man United, you know that it's going to be a tough game.

"Man United are a very good team with a lot of qualities, but for us, it's more about looking at ourselves and putting the emphasis on our performance.

"There are 10 games to go until the end of the season and we have to stay calm and focused on the next game, which is always the most important."

Mignolet has been an ever-present for Liverpool in the Premier League this season.
