Liverpool news: Robinson ‘100 per cent’ sure on Harvey Elliott after reveal pre-Man United
Paul Robinson is adamant Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott has done enough to retain his place at Man United on Monday.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Spurs and England number one heaped praise on Elliott, 19, for his “impressive” display against Crystal Palace.
Elliott made his second Premier League start of 2022 in a 1-1 draw with Palace on Monday.
As revealed by WhoScored, the attacking midfielder boasted 90 per cent pass accuracy, two key passes, five tackles and two interceptions in his 78 minutes on the pitch.
The Reds travel to rivals Man United on Monday night in search of their first league win of the season.
Thiago Alcantara, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Curtis Jones will all be sidelined for the clash.
When asked by Football Insider if Elliott had done enough to retain his place in the starting XI, Robinson said: “I was very impressed with him [v Crystal Palace].
“He plays again against Manchester United, 100 per cent.
“You can see what Jurgen Klopp think of him. He has no worries putting him in the starting XI for important games.
“One of the passes he played for [Darwin] Nunez was inch perfect. It was a great opportunity for Nunez. That is just an example of one of the pieces of quality from Elliott. He showed a lot of composure against Palace.
“I’m sure he will start against Man United, regardless of who comes back from injury. Klopp trusts him.
“I don’t think Liverpool will see United as a huge threat at the moment. I think United will be a lot more worried going into that one.”
