While United are on the brink of making two signings – Edinson Cavani and Alex Telles – to bolster Ole Gunnar바카라 웹사이트Solskjaer's바카라 웹사이트squad, Jurgen Klopp may well point to the impact of losing first-choice goalkeeper Alisson to a shoulder injury in training.바카라 웹사이트

However, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher suggested the Reds' high defensive line, such a key component to their success last season, left stand-in keeper바카라 웹사이트Adrian far바카라 웹사이트too exposed.바카라 웹사이트

"I was almost laughing at the end. I couldn't believe what I was seeing," Carragher said on Sky Sports.바카라 웹사이트
