Aalborg’s temporary coach Allan Kuhn has backed Liverpool to win the Champions League over Wednesday’s opponents Manchester United.
Kuhn took charge of the Danish side following the departure of Bruce Rioch and this week’s Champions League clash is the last of his 12-match stint as coach.
The 40-year-old has confessed that he believes Liverpool will be the team to lift Europe’s top honour this season rather than last year’s winners United.
Ahead of this week’s clash at Old Trafford, Kuhn responded to a question as to whether he believed United would triumph once again come May by saying: “No. They won't win it again.
“Liverpool will. I am a Liverpool fan, so that is what I hope will happen.
“Manchester United are a great side, but I think it will be more difficult for them this time. Maybe they got a little luck with the John Terry penalty.
“You do need luck to win the Champions League, but there are a lot of great teams around to give them a fight.”
Aalborg have yet to lose under the leadership of Kuhn but the former Lyngby player admits that may well come to an end on Wednesday at the Theatre of Dreams.
