Man Utd vs Liverpool massive for Michael Carrick and Arne Slot - they can't afford an embarrassment, says Gary Neville

Manchester United's clash with Liverpool at Old Trafford on Super Sunday is of huge significance for opposing managers Michael Carrick and Arne Slot, according to Gary Neville.

Both sides appear on course for a top-five finish this season and with it qualification for the Champions League, with United three points clear of their rivals, while the gap to sixth-placed Brighton & Hove Albion now stands at 11 and eight points respectively with just four games left to play.

However, while a place in Europe's premier club competition next season now seems assured for both teams - in fact, United would guarantee their place with a win against their arch rivals at the Theatre of Dreams - Sunday's meeting is still of great importance to the two men in charge of each club.
