Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick believes Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is one of the best coaches in the world as the two prepare to come up against each other at Anfield on Tuesday night.
Liverpool come into the game against their bitter rivals full of confidence after booking their spot in the final of the FA Cup with a 3-2 win over Manchester City. United defeated Norwich City by the same scoreline at Old Trafford to boost their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
But Rangnick, as well as praising his compatriot Klopp, has highlighted how his side need to be at their best defensively if they are to stop a Liverpool attack that is the best in the Premier League this season.

"He (Klopp) is one of the best, if not the best coach, not only now, but in the last couple of years," said Rangnick. "It is no coincidence what has happened. They brought in the right players and got rid of the right players. That is why they are where they are.
"As I said after the game [Norwich], we need to be more compact, we need to find the right balance of what we do in possession of the ball and what we need to do in order to defend our own goal. For sure, we need to be more compact, more aggressive, more on the front foot but still make sure we have all the players behind the ball.
"This is what we need to show tomorrow against a team that is probably one of the best - if not the best - in creating moments which they can be dangerous from in and around the box.
"We need to be at our very best defensively but still have a formation and approach to the game that we can be dangerous ourselves."
