The referee for this match will be unfamiliar to many Reds fans, as this marks only his fifth appearance in the Premier League, following considerable experience in the EFL since the 2021/22 season.
This match at Old Trafford will be his third assignment in the top flight this season, having previously officiated Aston Villa’s 2-1 win against Burnley and Chelsea’s 3-0 home victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
