The Glazer's tenure at Man Utd has been cast into doubt after British Billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe announced that he plans on bidding for the club.

And Monday's game against Liverpool is set be the stage for a mass walkout by fans.

In May 2021, fans stormed the stadium, gaining access to the Old Trafford pitch and attempted to enter the changing rooms in protest of the Glazer's role in the formation of the failed European Super League.

The game had to be called off as a result and rearranged to play another day.

Liverpool eventually won the fixture 4-2.

However, Reds boss Klopp says should history repeat itself - his team should be given the three points.

The German said in his press conference: "I really hope it will not happen, but if it happens, I think we should get the points.

"We have nothing to do with the situation.

"If that happens and the supporters want the game to be not happening then we can't just rearrange the game then fit it in somewhere in anyway in an incredibly busy schedule.

"I don't think and I really hope this will not happen. I have no idea what could happen, I don't think about it.

"People tell us we are fine so we go there and play the game, hopefully, and go home.

"In a situation like this always the other team should get the points because they have nothing to do with it."
