Andy Robertson names 'bigger problem' Liverpool shouldn't have after Manchester United win

Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson has said he would consider a career change if he wasn't relishing the team's push for four trophies this season.

The Reds hammered Manchester United 4-0 on Tuesday to head back to the top of the Premier League, although Manchester City can scale the summit again on Wednesday if they beat Brighton & Hove Albion.

In addition to the Premier League title, the Reds are in the FA Cup final and expected to qualify for the Champions League final, with Villarreal representing a favourable draw in the semi-finals.

While the fight for these three prizes has provided the team with a gruelling and high-pressure run-in, the signs are that Liverpool are ready to rise to the challenge. And speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live after the Reds dispatched of an awful United outfit, Robertson said he is cherishing the challenge.

"If you can't have fun at this period of the season with what we're doing then you're in the wrong profession," said the Scotland captain. "We're fighting for all trophies, trying to play cup finals every single week it feels like. We all play with a smile on our face but we're determined inside. You have to enjoy games like tonight - if none of us are smiling after this we have a bigger problem."

Although United were appalling for long spells of the contest, Robertson added that he thinks a lot of teams would have failed to contain Liverpool on Tuesday, such was the vigour with which they played.

"Getting the first goal in these games always helps," said the left-back. "It was a really enjoyable night. Not many teams would have been able to live with us with the way we played.

"When we lost the ball our reaction was incredible. We put really good players under pressure. We pressed all over the park and we didn't let them have time on the ball. Off the ball we were exceptional."
