Man Utd 2 – 1 Liverpool: Sancho & Rashford inspire Red Devils to leapfrog Klopp’s men at Old Trafford

Manchester United beat Liverpool in the Premier League this evening thanks to Jadon Sancho’s early goal and Marcus Rashford’s second-half strike.

Mohamed Salah replied late in the day but it was not enough to prevent defeat for the visitors on a memorable night for Erik ten Hag’s side.

The match was preceeded by a protest by United fans: anger among supporters at the ownership of the Glazer family is growing with each passing day and a protest was organised by underground fan group ‘The 1958’ ahead of tonight’s game.

They marched from The Tollgate to The Trinity to demonstrate their dissatisfaction with the Glazers and demand that the Americans sell up.

During the build-up to tonight’s match, Sky Sports broadcast an exclusive interview with Man Utd boss Ten Hag, conducted by Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher, grilling the Dutchman following the club’s dismal start to the campaign that has seen them outclassed in defeats to Brighton and Brentford.

And the manager made a big call this evening by dropping captain Harry Maguire and superstar striker Cristiano Ronaldo to the bench.
