Liverpool conceded twice in both league games so far and Iraola will be worried by how easily his side have been cut open.

Since Amorim’s tenure began last November, no team has conceded the first goal in more league games than United.

“It was not easy for me to tell him it won’t continue,” Guardiola told the media at his scheduled pre-match news conference before Sunday’s Manchester derby at Old Trafford.

That statement reinforces De Bruyne’s own
