Dirk Kuyt has warned Manchester United that Liverpool are determined to breathe fresh life into their title challenge by beating them on Saturday.

The Netherlands international was part of the side which thrashed Real Madrid 4-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday and Kuyt now has his sights firmly fixed on the Old Trafford showdown.

The Reds need to win in Manchester to close the seven-point gap on leaders United at the top of the Premier League table.

"Beating Real 4-0 at Anfield has to be one of our biggest results in years and it sets us up perfectly for Saturday," he said.

"It was the ideal performance and result ahead of such a huge game and it underlined how capable we are now of beating top teams.

"United are a very good team, but so are Real.

"When you look at what we have already done against United and Chelsea, and now against Madrid, it shows we can get the better of big opponents.

"United are playing really well, especially at home, but we need all three points and will be giving it all we can.

"The title race would be over if we lost but winning would send out a big message - even bigger than the one against Real.

"There would still be a gap to make up, but we can think about that later. All that matters for now is winning."
