This means that Man United will not have to face Southampton on January 16 with six consecutive losses – all competitive matches included. A loss yesterday would have given them four consecutive defeats in the English top flight, which has not happened since 1979.
It was a well deserved point to say the least for Man United who stood up well against the superior league leaders away from home. Despite that, new coach Ruben Amorim was not entirely satisfied.
– Today I must be the only guy who is upset about the team, but today we were a team, says Amorim according to Reuters.
Great position for Harry Maguire
– I want to see my team play so much better, but I think the most important thing to deal with today is the mentality. That is the key to everything, explains Amorim after the match.
Man United have not won at Anfield since 2016.
Manchester United salvaged a point thanks to Amad Diallo’s 2-2 in the 80th.
In the seventh and final minute of added time, a great opportunity came to snatch a three-pointer for Manchester, but centre-back Harry Maguire showed that he is not known as a great scorer and shot over with his shin.
