Former Manchester United Star Predicts Shock Result at Anfield with Pinpoint Accuracy
Before Manchester United’s visit to Anfield on Sunday, few would have dared to predict the Red Devils securing a result against their fiercest rivals.
League leaders Liverpool entered the clash as overwhelming favourites, buoyed by an exceptional start to the season under new manager Arne Slot. Their form had been nothing short of dominant, making it hard to see anything but another three points for the Merseysiders.
Meanwhile, Manchester United had been grappling with a difficult season. The appointment of Ruben Amorim in November, replacing Erik Ten Hag, had yet to inspire a turnaround. Adding to their woes, the team arrived at Anfield on the back of three consecutive league defeats to Bournemouth, Wolves, and Newcastle.
Yet, against all odds, one former Manchester United icon boldly predicted his old club would halt Liverpool’s winning streak. Speaking on the Premier League Predictions podcast, sponsored by Bet442, Brian McClair not only foresaw the Red Devils getting a result but also nailed the exact 2-2 scoreline.
“There’s No Logic – But That’s Football”
Ahead of the match, McClair explained his reasoning, or lack thereof, on the podcast:
“Everybody will be going for Liverpool, I would’ve thought, but I’m going for Liverpool two, Manchester United two.”
Acknowledging the uphill battle Manchester United faced, he added:
“There’s absolutely no logic when you consider Manchester United have only scored once in their last eight and none in their last five. But you know what football can be like, and you know what this fixture can be like.”
The former Scotland international proved to be absolutely spot on with his score prediction as Amorim’s side produced an impressive display to return back along the M62 with a deserved point.
What’s Next for McClair’s Predictions?
After the draw at Anfield, Manchester United now prepare to face struggling Southampton at Old Trafford on Thursday night. Will McClair’s predictive streak continue?
