Ralf Rangnick says Manchester United will be lucky to try and get a point against in-structure Liverpool on Tuesday on the off chance that they show similar guarded frailties they did in the 3-2 win over striving Norwich.
Break director Rangnick's negativity came in spite of United's possibilities getting Champions League football next season being helped by routs for rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
United trail Spurs - who involve the fourth and last Champions League spot - by three and have similar number of focuses as Arsenal, albeit the Gunners have a game close by.
Rangnick fears for United's defense against a dynamic Liverpool side who arrived at the FA Cup last on Saturday with a 3-2 bring home over association championship rivals Manchester City.
Jurgen Klopp's side stay on track for four prizes - they have gotten one currently the League Cup - as they are a point untied of City in the table and in the Champions League elimination rounds.

"They (Liverpool) have recently beaten Man City, they are in the cup last and they could get an opportunity to win four prizes this season.
"On the off chance that we play as we did today, it will be undeniably challenging to try and get a point.
"This is the very thing we must be realistic and mindful of. We must be part better when the resistance is under lock and key."
On a more cheery note for United was Cristiano Ronaldo's 60th vocation full go-around which took him to 20 goals in all rivalries this season.
It is an incrimination of the commitments of his partners that the 37-year-old Portuguese whiz has 12 a greater number of goals than any of them.
It is the sixteenth season in succession that Ronaldo has scored at least 20 club goals in all rivalries and moved him on to 99 profession Premier League goals.
Nonetheless, Ronaldo has likewise had minutes when he has shown he is plainly discontent with the status quo going at United and there are questions he will see out the last year of his agreement next season.
Rangnick says a choice on Ronaldo's future will be for his super durable replacement, with Ajax mentor Erik ten Hag apparently prone to be named in practically no time.
"Eventually, this isn't my choice," said Rangnick, who will remain on at Old Trafford as a consultant.
"Cristiano has one more year on his agreement. This will be a choice for the new director to take along with the board.
"Yet, he displayed against Tottenham and today that he can be the distinction producer in games like this.
"It is no happenstance he has the best goalscoring record of all players ever."
