IAN WRIGHT believes Manchester United will get “absolutely hammered” at Liverpool on Tuesday.
The Red Devils returned to winning ways – despite suffering a huge scare after squandering a two-goal advantage – against basement dwellers Norwich.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s brilliant hat-trick sealed a 3-2 victory to move them within three points of fourth-placed Tottenham.
Meanwhile Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool continued their quest for the quadruple by beating title rivals Man City 3-2 in the FA Cup semi-final.
But that was a scoreline that flattered the Cityzens as the Reds romped into a three-goal lead before half time.
The game between Liverpool and United is a must-win for both on Tuesday.

The former England striker told Premier League productions: “If he [Ronaldo] wasn’t at Manchester United they would be nowhere near where they are now.
“That’s what you pay for and he’s delivered. He’s amazing, amazing.
“We’re talking about a team at the bottom of the league [Norwich] who gave United two goals today, literally. And they’re still able to open United up.
