Jose Mourinho issues battle cry to Manchester United fans as he plots first win against Liverpool since taking over at Old Trafford

Jose Mourinho has urged Manchester United's fans to get behind his team when they face bitter rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford after they helped lift the players in Monday's comeback win at Crystal Palace.

United came from two goals down to win 3-2 at Selhurst Park and reclaim second place in the Premier League table from Liverpool.

Mourinho has questioned the atmosphere inside Old Trafford in the past, and last month referred to it as a 'quiet stadium'. But the Portuguese coach believes fans can play a key role in Saturday's lunchtime kick-off as he attempts to beat Liverpool for the first time as United boss after three straight draws.
