Emre Can will not start for Liverpool against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Liverpool midfielder Emre Can has been dropped from the starting lineup for the fourth Premier League game in a row.

Can has not played for the past five game all in all competitions since a strong performance against Chelsea a month ago.
