Liverpool player ratings
Alison: 7 – Made one great stop from Hojlund in the second half and pushed back whenever needed.
Trent Alexander-Arnold: 8 – Defensively, he showed success in preventing counterattacks several times. He frequently marauded the front line and moved into midfield in the second half, almost slamming home. He was active and tried to make things happen.
Ibrahima Konate: 7 – Great reading of the game, great swivel and shot that almost scored, but it was straight at Onana.
virgil van dijk: 6 – Defensively we didn’t have much to do and we were given a header by Onana in the first half.
Kostas Tsimikas: 5 – He didn’t push forward much and provided a lot of loose passes. Anthony nailed him.
Dominik Szoboszlai: 5 – Subcut early in the second half, but no complaints. It didn’t affect the game and was well over one hit.
Wataru Endo: 6 – Despite conceding a goal, they persevered and did their best to stop United gaining momentum in midfield.
ryan graven birch: 6 – Substituted off due to injury, but played well in midfield to keep Liverpool on the upswing.
mohamed salah: 6 – Amazingly sloppy presentation. He couldn’t hold onto the ball, and as the game went on, he started to drift away from the game. Some speculative curling efforts, and that was it.
darwin nunes: 5 – Struggled to lead the line and inexplicably stopped in the second half when he could have taken a shot at open goal.
Luis Diaz: 6 – Despite trying hard, he couldn’t catch up with Dalot and had very few serves, making it a frustrating match for him.

Manchester United player ratings
Andre Onana: 7 – Although his kick missed, he made several good saves in the second half and took control in the box.
Diogo Dalot: 8 – He received two yellows and an insane red card for the same incident for dissent in stoppage time, but apart from that he defended brilliantly and did his best to push United forward on the counter. Ta.
Johnny Evans: 7 – He used his experience very well, sitting back and giving instructions and keeping United’s defense solid.
Raphael Varane:9 – This was an exceptional defensive display. His positioning was great, he won a lot of tackles, he got the ball up in the air, he made a ton of blocks and he celebrated it like a goal. Classes are persistent.
luke shaw: 7 – A great fight with Salah that put him on top. Shaw used his experience to provide a threat offensively as well. Booked for a bad challenge at Konate.
Coby Mainu: 7 – A really good performance from a youngster who was very calm on the ball, closed the gap well and is definitely a future star.
Scott McTominay: 6 – He took on a more advanced role and set an example by wearing the captain’s armband. When United came forward, they just took a few wrong feet or made the wrong choices in the final third. Still, he led by example.
Sofian Amrabat: 5 – This was a really tough battle for the Moroccan national team. They continued to work hard but struggled against Liverpool’s movements in the first half. The second time it was a little better.
anthony: 6 – Worked hard on the right wing, won some free kicks and led some counters.
Rasmus Hoylund: 5 – Didn’t serve much, but missed his only big chance in the second half. This is because it hit Allison directly as it passed by. We have to do it better.
Alejandro Garnacho: 5 – Like Anthony, worked hard out wide but given United’s game plan there were few attacking chances.
Alternative
Marcus Rashford (replaced Garnacho, 71 minutes): 6 – Made some good runs down the left and delivered a cross, but Hojlund couldn’t finish it.
