Games between these two North West rivals are always eagerly anticipated and coming so early in the season, this promises to be a fascinating clash.
The first meeting between these sides came back in 1903 and between them, they have collected 39 league titles.
Liverpool go into the fixture in better shape, but Manchester United are unbeaten in the last three meetings at Old Trafford.

Goals On The Agenda
These two teams met on three occasions last season, with both league matches ending in draws while United claimed an extra-time home victory in the FA Cup clash.
In the two encounters at Old Trafford, there were 11 goals with the league fixture in April finishing in a 2-2 scoreline.
There have been three or more goals scored in eight of the last nine competitive meetings, while this summer’s pre-season friendly finished in a 3-0 win for Liverpool.
Much had been discussed as to how the Merseysiders’ style might change under a new manager, following Jurgen Klopp’s departure.
Even though some pundits have picked at slight tweaks, Arne Slot insists things are not much different under his leadership and he has started with two wins from their first two games.
With new owners in place, Manchester United are hoping for a change of fortunes – particularly in the league, where they have finished outside of the top four in three of the last six seasons.
Erik Ten Hag has competed with Slot during their time at Ajax and Feyenoord, but this is a step up in expectancy and a positive result is even more important with an international break looming.

Old Trafford Stage Suits Salah
Mohamed Salah has multiple Premier League records to his name but one of the most impressive is the success he has enjoyed against Manchester United.
The Egyptian ace's six goals at Old Trafford are the most of any visiting player at the ground in Premier League history.
Salah has found the net 14 times in the last 11 meetings between the sides and that includes goals in four consecutive matches at Old Trafford.
The 32-year-old had been at the centre of speculation over his future towards the end of last season, but the forward has looked fresh and raring to go at the start of this campaign.
After a three-week break, Salah has hit the ground running and scored twice in the first two games, both from open play.

Bruno Has Yellow Card History
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has played in seven Premier League games against Liverpool but has won just one.
Often, the Portuguese ace has shown his frustration in these fixtures, which have included a 7-0 defeat at Anfield last year and a 5-0 home loss for United in 2021.
Fernandes has featured in nine Man Utd vs Liverpool fixtures in all competitions, and the Portuguese star has been cautioned on four occasions.
