Liverpool beat Sunderland 2-0 this weekend, having been frustrated by the Black Cats for 75 minutes.
Divock Origi and James Milner eventually sealed the three points for Liverpool, which sent the Merseyside giants into second place in the Premier League.
The Reds’ awe-inspiring attacking play this term has led to numerous opponents setting out with a very defensive style, to some success.
United were one such side to gain a point from their clash with Liverpool, grinding out a 0-0 draw having not forced Loris Karius into a single save.
Jurgen Klopp, though, criticised David Moyes’ men as the most defensive team he has ever faced – a comment which Aldridge suggests was an overreaction.
The former striker wrote for the Liverpool Echo: “I think it was frustration which saw Jurgen Klopp brand Sunderland the most defensive team he’s played against after the game on Saturday.
“I actually think Manchester United came and were just as bad. Our goalie had to pull off two good saves against Sunderland, against Manchester United he didn’t have a save to make.
“Klopp is thinking that every team are coming to Anfield and doing exactly the same thing but we’ve known that for a long time. If you’re not passing sharp and your movements’s not sharp it can cost you.”
Liverpool, who currently trail Chelsea by one point, face Bournemouth away in their next Premier League fixture.
