Former Man United defender, Wes Brown has warned the Red Devils to step up the tempo of their game if the team must overcome Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup at Old Trafford on March 17.
Recall that both teams will clash at Old Trafford in what is expected to be an exciting encounter.
The hosts enter this game on the back of a decent run of form. With three wins and two defeats in their last five games, United have done fairly well for their results.
In that span, they have scored seven goals and conceded six as their inconsistency shows at times. They defeated Everton 2-0 at home in their last Premier League outing and will look to continue in the winning form in the next game as well.

However, in a chat with TribalFootball, Brown expects a good game and takes comfort in the fact that they are facing each other at Old Trafford.
“This was always my favourite game, it’s just the way I was brought up,” the former Manchester United hero tells Tribalfootball.com while acknowledging things might have shifted a bit.
“I know the younger lads would say Manchester City, which I completely understand. But it was more Liverpool in my day.”
“Most people understand the rivalry, it’s two North West clubs that have done very well trophy-wise and have a similar background in history. It’s only 20 minutes down the road and that’s why the rivalry is so fierce.”
“When Klopp came out saying he’s leaving the Liverpool at the end of this season, it could have gone either way, but you’ve seen how the players have properly taken it in. They are really playing for him at the moment. But listen, it’s a game Manchester United have to step up in”
