Manchester United play host to Liverpool at Old Trafford in Manchester, UK. The demonstration is set to begin at 7pm but huge groups of fans are already congregating at the planned meeting spot. It's a really slick exchange around the Liverpool box that leads to Sancho picking it up in the box and he shows brilliant composure to sit Alisson and Milner down simultaneously before passing the ball home. 7th min: Liverpool lose it in a deep position and Alexander-Arnold fouls Rashford in attempting to get back in. The match will be streamed in English on NBC platform Peacock. Liverpool lose the ball in midfield and Rashford is on his bike straight away to latch onto a pass in behind. On leaving Cristiano Ronaldo out, he said: "We know Liverpool are a really good team and you need to press them. The youngster looks to have done everything right in opening his body for curling, inside-of-the-foot finish but it comes agonisingly back off the post. Could we see movement on that front over the next couple of weeks? HALFTIME: Manchester United leading by a single goal at the break and they fully deserve their lead. Alisson is out to make himself big, but the Mancunian striker makes no mistake with a cool finish into the bottom corner. If there is one area of the pitch Liverpool fans would most like to see reinforced before the end of the transfer window, it is undoubtedly midfield.

"I wanted a different approach and a different attitude and that is what they brought on the pitch. "They were really aggressive in the beginning, it was absolutely clear what would happen. "Maybe they were [sharper], that's not right of course but when we calmed down we were there. Nowadays it's a demand and that is what you saw. "It is not always about what I said. I don't know what it is but I cannot believe what I have witnessed. Make sure you are a team and battle and be brave. "The major disappointment is that they've only scored one goal." "Every time United went forward in that first half they looked like they were going to score. I didn't think it was possible tonight what I saw; I thought the players had cemented what they do, week-in, week-out over many months at the end of last season and the start of this season." "There was communication, fight spiriting and then you can see what they can achieve. They had rattled their visitors even before Sancho was given time to turn onto his left foot in the box and fire past an unsighted Alisson (16), and David de Gea did not have a save to make before the break.

Man United fans made their voices heard with pre-game protests while the team did their talking on the pitch, dispatching Liverpool in fine fashion.

We can't keep this going on out there: it is easy to talk about it in the changing room but we have to go out and do it. Nunez showed great promise prior to his red card against [Crystal Palace](/soccer/team?id=384) and the injury picture will ease before long, but two points from their opening three games will heighten pressure on Liverpool to enter the market before deadline day -- perhaps most obviously in midfield, where they were out-fought and out-thought by United. Man United in all competitions, the most in club history, breaking a tie with Steven Gerrard. We got the three points but on to the next one.

[Highlights and notable moments](#highlights) [Best/worst performers](#bestworst) He is only the tenth United player to reach that landmark. Dropping both your club captain and your iconic centre-forward for a game of this magnitude takes some self-belief, but United lined up without Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo for the first time since Jan.

MANCHESTER UNITED manager Erik ten Hag had a terrible start to his first two Premier League games, but following tonight's victory against Liverpool supporters are starting to believe the good times could be on the way back. So, can Erik ten Hag lead United to glory? Have your say: Can Erik ten Hag lead Manchester United to glory?

Manchester United beat Liverpool 2-1 as a display full of fight, grit and quality stunned Jurgen Klopp's side. The Erik ten Hag era has officially started.

Only a shock win against Liverpool would lift it and that would only be momentarily as Erik ten Hag has to usher in a new style of player with a group of players seriously lacking in confidence. Martial being back is a big boost for United as he was flying in preseason in a fluid front three. At the back, Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez both continue to struggle, while David de Gea had a nightmare at Brentford last time out. McTominay, Bruno Fernandes and Eriksen all ran themselves into the ground and aside from a 15 minute period at the end of the first half, Liverpool were never allowed to dictate the tempo of the game. As for Liverpool, they have hardly had a good start to the new season. Liverpool’s worst start to a PL season in 10 years underlines their struggles, but this set in at the end of last season and they can’t keep fighting back in games. United going long, early and often, and they have Liverpool on the back foot. United then had quality in the final third to make all of their hard work count. This game exposed Liverpool’s lack of signings in midfield and Klopp may well go to his board and ask for a midfield addition before the window shuts. Fired up United back up Erik ten Hag’s big calls: Leaving out Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire was a huge call by Erik ten Hag and boy did he get it right. This was Liverpool’s first defeat in 22 Premier League games, as Klopp will point to huge injury issues but his side simply didn’t turn up for most of one of their biggest games of the season. Liverpool’s midfield overrun: Starting James Milner and Harvey Elliott ahead of Fabinho didn’t quite work and Liverpool’s midfield was so easy to play through in the first half.

After the 2-1 win over Liverpool, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag hailed his team's attitude and added that Cristiano Ronaldo, who did not start the ...

"We had to keep chasing the game and that is not what you want to do. The Manchester United manager was rewarded for his decision to field a frontline of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Anthony Elanga, as the three combined well. We prepare for Bournemouth (on Saturday) and Newcastle (next Wednesday) now." "I wanted a different approach and a different attitude and that is what they brought on the pitch. "I am concerned about our situation, but that is how it is. Every Premier League game is difficult, we need to bring it to every game. "It makes me happy that Rashford and Sancho got the goals. We got through the week with 14, 15 senior players available and now have to make sure they don't get injured. "I am happy with the performance but we have to bring it every game. There was communication and a fighting spirit," said the United boss. We should have won this game. It is only a start.
