Manchester United fan Dan Sprague provides an opposition supporter's view ahead of our trip to Old Trafford.

What's the mood among Manchester United fans?

Yeah, pretty good. We're ravaged by injuries but still going for the title. Well pleased with the fight-back at Stamford Bridge last weekend. Can't say I'm thrilled by the prospect of the Europa League, but what can you do?

There has been a lot of talk about David de Gea - what's your view?

Oh man, what a question! At the moment, he looks a tiny bit out of his depth. Sometimes great, often not. The potential is there though. But at big clubs, you pretty much have to be the finished article from day one. I think Sir Alex will persevere with him, partly because he cost so much, but Lindegaard looks more accomplished to me.

Best way to beat Manchester United?

I'm not telling you that! Okay, go on then. Score early, then keep the ball.

Players who make you tick right now?

Paul Scholes. A legend returns. I couldn't believe it when he came back. It's a short-term fix for a long-term problem, but it's great to see him back and playing so well. Who's next? Cantona? Whiteside? Rooney is also showing how vital he is right now. Such passion and flight. When things are going badly, he can turn it on, and win a game single-handedly.

If you were manager for the day...

I'd bring back Jim Leighton. Oh, that was a serious question. Er, I dunno. See if my mates will have a whip-round and buy the club out.

Liverpool player you always worry about ahead of these games?

Steven Gerrard, because he is world-class and because he has a habit of scoring against us.

Best and worst thing about a trip to Old Trafford?

Best - it's not far for you to come to see the most atmospheric club stadium in Britain! Sorry, couldn't resist. The worst? Erm, no - can't think of anything.

Score prediction?

I'm hardly going to predict a Liverpool victory, am I? United 1-0 Liverpool.
