Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has fired a little dig at Manchester United ahead of Sunday evening's FA Cup clash.
The FA Cup is the final chance for the Red Devils to win a trophy this season, while there remain hopes of a top-four finish.
The two sides will renew their rivalry at Old Trafford, but Klopp admits the rivalry with the Red Devils has not been on his mind compared to the likes of Manchester City.

"I know the famous phrase with the perch but I had other things to think about than Manchester United when I came,' Klopp said.
"In my first year Leicester won the league, then Chelsea and Manchester City. So nothing (special plans) with Manchester United.
"It's not me to think about anybody else. If we face United, yes. If we don't, they can do what they want. I can't influence it.
"I couldn't start building by thinking, 'We want to reach there'. I had to go step-by-step."
Klopp is also looking forward to seeing more Liverpool fans at Old Trafford on Sunday evening.
"I prefer home games but if it's away, I like the FA Cup. You take more people and the away crowd is a real crowd. Our fans will be on their toes and that is important because Old Trafford can create a special atmosphere," he added.
"The more we have to go against that, the better. This is all or nothing, decided on the day. It is one of those games the whole world will look at."
