Man United vs Liverpool Highlights: United protests turn to celebration after victory over Liverpool

Man United vs Liverpool Highlights: Erik ten Hag claims first victory as Man United manager

The hosts’ first-half display was in complete contrast to their 4-0 loss at Brentford, with Anthony Elanga – preferred to Ronaldo – striking the post early on with just Alisson to beat.

United were ahead soon after when Sancho collected Elanga’s pass, fooled James Milner and Alisson with a dummy and found the bottom-left corner from the first shot on target.

Liverpool struggled to get going but nearly levelled before half-time in bizarre circumstances as Bruno Fernandes miscued a clearance against Lisandro Martinez on the goal-line.

Marcus Rashford scored the winner against Liverpool

With Old Trafford rocking, despite threats of a walk out in protest at the club’s owners, half-time substitute Anthony Martial played in Rashford on the counter for United’s second.

Rashford was denied another by a good Alisson save, while David de Gea kept out Luis Diaz and Roberto Firmino before Salah nodded in after United failed to deal with a corner.

Despite some late pressure from Liverpool, the home side – perhaps fortunate not to see Fernandes sent off following a kerfuffle after Salah’s goal – held on for a massive victory.

Rashford steps up in Ronaldo absence

Benching Ronaldo for the second time in three matches this season was a big call from Ten Hag, whose decision was fully justified by the end of the 95 minutes thanks to goals from Sancho and Rashford.

Rashford in particular was a huge threat throughout and attempted a game-high five shots, including the well-taken strike for his goal to end a run of 997 minutes without netting in all competitions for United.

Liverpool frustrations boil over

Salah’s goal was his 10th against United in all competitions for Liverpool – six of those at Old Trafford – making him the first Reds player to reach double-figures in this fixture.

But that strike could not paper over what was a poor display from the visitors, particularly in defence and midfield, with Milner and Virgil van Dijk exchanging some strong words on multiple occasions.

What’s next?

United will look to build on this win when they travel to Southampton on their return to action on Saturday, the same day that winless Liverpool host Bournemouth at Anfield.
