Liverpool vs Man United

Liverpool are still dreaming of a historic quadruple, while Manchester United will finish the campaign trophy less – and most likely outside of the top-four.

United couldn’t get close to their opponents, epitomised by the fact they only gave away one foul in the first half. It sums up the gulf between the two sides right now that even the Anfield supporters are humiliating the Manchester United players. It was a match that summed up the seasons for the two sides.

Statistics don't always tell the full truth, but the numbers make grim reading for Manchester United fans as Liverpool proved Neville's fears entirely ...

But he could not stop himself bracketing this performance as “an all-time low” in his 42 years of watching United: “I have never seen it as bad as that. They had 897 passes compared to United’s 354, nine corners to two. To demonstrate what the eyes told you, that Liverpool found it all too easy to pass their way around United’s static structure, Jurgen Klopp’s side had over two touches to every one of United’s at 1083 to 503.

Before this season, the most lopsided aggregate in the history of Liverpool vs. Man United was 7-1 in United's favour in 1946 in the North Division War ...

That came a year after Liverpool won 4-0 on aggregate in 1963-64. Those results, though, sandwiched a 2-0 Liverpool victory in the League Cup. Just where, though, does a 9-0 aggregate demolition sit in the history of England’s two most storied clubs?

Liverpool underlined their superiority over Manchester United with a superb 4-0 thrashing at Anfield. Here are 18 of the most outstanding statistics and ...

– There were 25 passes and 77 seconds of unbroken Liverpool possession in the build-up to Salah’s first goal. – Van Dijk and Thiago registered more than double the touches of any opposition player with 125 and 132 respectively. – United have conceded 15 goals against the runaway top two City and Liverpool this season. 9 – Manchester United have lost 0-9 on aggregate in their Premier League meetings with Liverpool this season. That’s right; they failed to even attempt a shot in the opening 45 minutes. – Liverpool’s four-goal haul was twice as many goals as Manchester United have scored at Anfield during Jurgen Klopp’s reign. Only Leeds United have shipped more against the title-chasers.– United have conceded 15 goals against the runaway top two City and Liverpool this season. – Liverpool’s front three of Mane, Diaz and Salah all scored and assisted in the victory. The next-worst are aggregate 7-1s to Manchester City in 2011-12 and 2013-14. – Mohamed Salah has now scored five goals against Manchester United this season. The only other was Mesut Ozil, back in 2015-16 (via @OptaJoe). “I don’t expect us for 95 minutes to be completely in charge of the game.

Paul Scholes has admitted watching Manchester United succumb to a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool left him feeling 'saddened' as opposed to angered at ...

No surprise at the scoreline. The Red Devils were passengers for much of the game at Anfield and found themselves a goal down inside five minutes after Luis Diaz opened the scoring. Ralf Rangnick's side now sit 22 points adrift of Liverpool, having played a game more, and are a shadow of their former selves.

'They keep singing for him today,' Mohamed Salah joked at full-time. 'He's the only one they were singing for today!'. Thiago Alcantara gave Klopp an injury ...

He even got a shot on target for United, even if it was straight at Alisson and met with ironic cheers from the Anfield crowd. and yet it would be an apt way to bring the curtain down. Diaz has slotted in so seamlessly to the Liverpool setup it is as if he has spent the last six months training precisely for his role. 'Rashford up front, he played like a child,' Keane fumed on Sky Sports. 'There’s no surprise at the result. 'That's what a captain does, and Hendo's done it many a time for us, he did it again tonight. Thiago hasn't had the most flawless injury record in his two years at Liverpool and the games are coming thick and fast now. It's remarkable that a player with that return might not make the strongest line-up. Everybody up front is playing a good game all the time.' There is speculation over his long-term United future but it is far too strong to suggest replacing Rashford will help solve United's long list of problems. But in the bigger picture, Liverpool are 10 games away from the quadruple, a level of greatness no other team has achieved before. United fans would have been thrilled if they had been the team to derail Liverpool's title hopes, make no mistake. Thiago Alcantara deserves the thousands of words of adulation that are going to be written about him after his Anfield masterclass on Tuesday night.

Arguably the only positive to come out of Manchester United's 4-0 humiliation against Liverpool was the fight shown by Hannibal Mejbri.

Compete, win your duels, fight for every ball and there’s only one kid who came on and demonstrated that he had the heart and the soul to play for Manchester United Football Club - him.” Speaking on his podcast after the game, Gary Neville said: “That kid came on and he showed something. The 19-year-old came on for his second senior United appearance and certainly left his mark.

Liverpool's players fared well when it came to national media ratings after an impressive 4-0 demolition of Manchester United, but it was a day of reckoning ...

Worse was to come for captain Harry Maguire who was given a humiliating 1 out 10: "Had the gall to claim he was still deserving of his place. It was left to Ryan Taylor to dish out the scores for Man United and unsurprisingly they were in stark contrast to the Liverpool scores. Writing about Salah, Stuart Ballard said: "Has come under criticism of late in part due to the very high standards he has set but was simply sublime against a sub-par United side. Has stepped up for the big moments in recent weeks." Writing about Luis Diaz, the journalist said: "Devastating finish continued his fairytale start to life at Anfield. Also had an effort ruled out for offside and set up the third for Mane." Less involved in the second half but still helped himself to another goal with a cheeky dink over De Gea. Now five clear of Son in the Golden Boot race."

Liverpool confirmed their total dominance over Manchester United on and off the pitch last night, and FSG could cash in come the summer transfer window.

In helping to deny Manchester United, Liverpool may just have shown themselves the way to the perfect FSG transfer. Equally, while it may bring advantages on the training ground, missing out on Europe could be terrible news in the transfer market. For all their struggles on the pitch, Manchester United are still an obscenely wealthy team. The Colombian opened the scoring against Manchester United, and has been a central figure in Klopp’s push on four fronts ever since his winter transfer was completed. Liverpool fans had plenty of reasons to be ecstatic about the win over Manchester United. It lifted them to the top of the table. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a name that comes to mind — Liverpool fans had got as far as learning how to spell his name, only for the Armenian to opt for Old Trafford instead.

It is not a normal situation,” he said of the 9-0 aggregate scoreline.

Manchester United have confirmed that Ronaldo will not play against Liverpool as he and his family mourn the loss of his son. Focusing on United, Cristiano Ronaldo bagged a hat trick as they edged past Norwich City 3-2 at the weekend and coupled with defeats for Arsenal and Tottenham plus a draw for West Ham, all of a sudden the Red Devils have a great chance of finishing in the top four. For Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool, they are just one point off Premier League leaders Manchester City and can momentarily go top of the table with a win or a draw. Liverpool hammered Manchester United 5-0 in the return game at Old Trafford earlier this season to underline the gulf between these two teams. All of the talk is about Liverpool winning the quadruple. Some players had to learn how to deal with it because of how much it means to them. In the 55th minute, Manchester United have their first shot of the game. HALF TIME: Liverpool 2-0 Manchester United – The Red Devils are lucky to not be behind by more. Manchester United had 0 shots, just two touches in Liverpool’s box and an xG of 0.00. Just nothing. He goes up top as the false nine and Bruno Fernandes drops into central midfield. GOALLL! Sadio Mane with an incredible assist as he clips the ball into Salah and the Egyptian King slots home. Virgil van Dijk not happy at all after sloppy play from Liverpool allows Manchester United to create a few chances.
