Manchester United side who are suffering a terrible nightmare

Despite the delicate sporting and institutional situation they are going through so far this season, being out of Europe at the first hurdle, MU have salvaged a point. Liverpool deserved much more, but André Onana was vindicated with two very meritorious interventions. It was a game of contrasting realities in a Premier League that continues to attract fans in different corners of planet football. On the one hand, Liverpool were determined to take advantage of Manchester City's doubts to shoot themselves into first place. However, they were aware of the difficulty of the challenge and were keeping their feet on the ground.

 

On the other side of the pitch, a Manchester United side who are suffering a terrible nightmare. Jürgen Klopp opted for Alisson Becker, who is returning to his best form between the sticks, displaying reflexes and more than positive performances. The Brazilian international, the goalkeeper would be protected by a back four of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konaté, Virgil van Dijk and Kostas Tsimikas. Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoszlai and Wataru Endo would play in the wide area, with Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz up front.

As for Erik ten Hag's starting eleven, who would be on a knife-edge in the Old Trafford giants' dugout, André Onana would have to curb the attacking might of his opponents. Up front, a rearguard comprising Diego Dalot, Jonny Evans, Raphaël Varane and Luke Shaw. The midfield would have three consistent performers in Sofyan Amrabat, Kobbie Mainoo and Scott McTominay, while Antony, Rasmus Höjlund and Alejandro Garnacho would be advanced.

Onana made a fantastic intervention to thwart Van Dijk, but the wall at the back of the Red Devils was proving insurmountable. Höjlund brought a fine save from Alisson, while an inspired Onana beat Salah to the ball. As a result, the score remained unchanged at Anfield (0-0).
