The Brazilian forward produced one of his best performances in a Liverpool shirt on Wednesday when he scored twice in the 3-3 draw against Arsenal.
After signing in a £29million deal last summer, Firmino has struggled to live up to expectations.
But ahead of Liverpool’s showdown with United on Sunday (2:05pm), Firmino wants to prove he can perform on a consistent basis against the Premier League big boys and lesser lights.
“Manchester United are a big team and I know how big this derby is here,” Firmino said.
“We have to be 100% focused. If we do as well as we did up front (against Arsenal) against them we have a good chance to win on Sunday.
“I hope I can play like that against all teams, not only the big teams.
“Obviously it’s good to play well against the good teams but my aim here is to help the team by scoring goals and doing whatever I can on the pitch.”
