Marcus Rashford dismissed concerns Jose Mourinho could park the bus against Liverpool, insisting the Manchester United boss was only interested in beating the Reds.
Liverpool welcome United to Anfield on Sunday with the Merseysiders leading the Premier League title race and Mourinhos side 16 points adrift of the top of the table.
United fans are desperate to avoid a big defeat at the hands of their bitter rivals, but Rashford denied the Red Devils were the underdogs.
I think hes (Mourinho) a bit different, like we all are leading up to these games, Rashford told Sky Sports.
It has a special buzz and excitement, and as people we cant hide that.
But hes a winner, you know, so leading up to the game hes just thinking about winning, how are we going to win, and what we are going to do to win the game, because the three points is what matters.

United and Liverpool are both facing injury concerns heading into the game. Mourinho is sweating on the fitness of nine players while Jurgen Klopp played down a defensive crisis ahead of the game.
