"Liverpool is going to be completely different," Balogun told the British media. "It is going to be a lot quicker and a lot more intense."

The Nigeria international said he had spoken about the pace of the Premier League with his new team mates and that he had expected Sunday's game to be a lot quicker.

"But they told me this is always the kind of game you play against United," Balogun added. "They like to slow it down a little bit sometimes."
