Man Utd 3-2 Liverpool: Analysis – The Reds' problems are laid bare again
Liverpool and boss Arne Slot can point to their injury problems – and they were far from full strength here – but there can be no excuses for their feeble first-half display, which left them two goals behind and with a mountain to climb.
Slot has spoken so often about the importance of the first goal in a game, yet for the 21st time in 54 matches this season Liverpool conceded the opener.
And only against Arsenal (2) in August 2025 have Liverpool had fewer touches in the opposition box in the first half of a league game under Slot than the four they managed at Old Trafford.

The Premier League have issued a statement explaining why Benjamin Sesko’s goal for Manchester United against Liverpool was allowed to stand despite handball appeals.
Man United raced into the lead after just six minutes with Matheus Cunha marking his return from injury with a goal.
