In contrast, NBC News reports, “One dead as powerful nor’easter causes flooding and knocks out power to parts of East Coast,” which frames the narrative within the broader context of the storm’s widespread impact.

Manchester United legend Roy Keane says his former side have little chance against Liverpool today after exposing the side’s ‘biggest worry’.

United travel to Anfield after a torrid week in which they’ve lost to Bournemouth and crashed out of Europe.

The pressure is building on Erik ten Hag, and he needs a performance on Merseyside to win over an increasing number of doubters.

United have scored just once in the last eight years at Anfield, and they were beaten 7-0 there last season.

But Keane says it’s United’s lack of goals that are the ‘biggest worry’ and he doesn’t see that changing today.

Asked if United could win today, ‘No, not with their form. Gary mentioned there’s always a bit of hope but is there enough belief in the dressing room? In the manager and his staff? We get stats thrown at us every week and the stats are very, very bad for Manchester United at the moment. ‘But they have to turn up as a team today, they haven’t been turning up as a team. The noises coming out after the Bournemouth game last week was that they thought Bournemouth weren’t going to be that good. Every week there’s an issue with United. They’ve had injury problems. There’s talk of a takeover. People are always looking for answers outside the club but sometimes you’ve got to look at within the dressing room. The players have to find the answer today within the dressing room. ‘There’s guys who aren’t involved, some senior players. But find something from within. It doesn’t look good. You don’t think for one second they’ll come in and win in the form Liverpool are in. But they have to find the form from somewhere. ‘They have to be solid, the goalkeeper will have to play well but the biggest worry for me when I look at United is the lack of goals. It’s a big, big issue. They’re poor at the back but they’ve had their injury problems. But the lack of goals from this team makes it very very difficult.’
