Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists his side's performance will decide how much of an impact the Old Trafford crowd will have on Thursday.
Klopp's side head to Manchester United on Thursday with a 2-0 first leg advantage in their Europa League round of 16 tie.
The Anfield crowd roared their side to victory in last week's first leg win, but Klopp insists his team can silence the United fans by turning in a good performance.
"I like it. The atmosphere is loud too when all the people hate you. I don't understand what the crowd is singing, so it's easy for me", said the Liverpool boss.
"In Liverpool, it was different. If we had played poorly, I'm sure it would have not been too easy, the same atmosphere.
"We will decide how good the atmosphere is on Thursday with our performance. We want to do our best and mean that it's difficult to enjoy the game for Man United."
It will be Klopp's first game in charge of the Reds at Old Trafford since taking over from Brendan Rodgers in October, and no Liverpool manager has won their first game at Manchester United since George Kay back in 1936. But, Klopp says he is not thinking about that, and is looking forward to the challenge.
"I'm really looking forward to it. It's one of the best things you can do in football - play against Manchester United, especially when you're the manager of Liverpool."
"It's not important for me to write history. We want to get through to the next round, and a draw would be good enough so I don't think about that."
Despite just 35 miles separating Liverpool from Manchester, Klopp's men travelled on Wednesday in order to train at Old Trafford ahead of the game, with Klopp insisting the importance of treating it like a normal European game.
"I didn't think one second about it - we come one day early," added Klopp.
"It's a Europa League game, it's always like this. Only the trip was different - normally we fly. That's the only difference. It's a normal European game.
"I enjoy to breathe the stadium the night before the game. There was no way we weren't going to take the opportunity to train here."
