Manchester United lifted the mood of crisis around manager Erik Ten Hag by securing a battling point against Liverpool at Anfield.
United stopped the rot that had been spreading after the heavy home loss to Bournemouth and a Champions League exit after defeat by Bayern Munich at Old Trafford.
Many anticipated a tough match for Ten Hag’s side, given the recent history of 11-0 aggregate defeats against English giants. However, the Red Devils managed to secure a draw that felt like a victory to many.
Despite United’s injury troubles leading to a less-than-classic performance, Ten Hag had more reason to celebrate than Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp. The latter’s team missed a chance to reclaim the top spot in the Premier League.

Liverpool controlled possession but squandered over 30 goal attempts. In contrast, United had only six attempts, with Rasmus Hojlund’s shot being their sole on-target effort, blocked at the near post by Liverpool’s Alisson Becker.
Looking ahead, Klopp must shift focus to West Ham United in the EFL Cup, while United is also gearing up to face the same team just three days later.
