Cristiano Ronaldo looked to have pulled one back for the red devils but it was to be offside by VAR officials.
Manchester United luck went from bad to worse as Second half substitute Paul pogba saw red after a harsh tackle on naby keita as a result of the tackle, naby keita couldn't continue with the match and was replaced by Alex oxlade Chamberlain.
Mohamed Salah was awarded man of the match after a great display, What a fine display from the reds.
Manchester United were lost on the pitch, They were bullied by liverpool and quiet frankly, They haven't been themselves since Sir Alex Ferguson left way back in 2013, they have spent more than $1 billion in transfer fees and there has been no progress.
Sir Alex Ferguson was in the stands to witness the shambolic Manchester United performance, Safe to say Sir Kenny dalgleish was happy.
Manchester United play against Tottenham on Saturday while liverpool are up against Brighton.
What did you make of both teams performance yesterday, Is it time for Ole to get the sack or Is he still the one?
