Manchester United suffered a point loss for the second time this season on Saturday afternoon.José Mourinho’s team did not create anything on a visit to Liverpool and was lucky enough to say that David de Gea stuck in good shape.The Spaniard had to intervene a number of times and kept Joël Matip in the first half with an amazing rescue of scoring.Manchester United offers the chance to win two points, while Liverpool gets to the same level as Arsenal, who has yet to take action.
Mourinho had his men with Ashley Young on the right wing and Anthony Martial, who had clearly been instructed to walk back with him, enter a conservative formation, while also Jürgen Klopp, apprehensive of the counters of the Red Devils, went to midfield for extra security.This led in the opening phase to a Liverpool that was being scanned, while the visitors were mainly letting themselves sink in the hope of being able to recover quickly.

Liverpool FC is going to score, but then is there again David De Gea?
Georginio Wijnaldum started at the Reds in the base and it was the Orange-international who, with two shots, carefully took care of the first danger.However, the Gea had little trouble parking the bets of the midfielder, and the Spaniard only had to play for half an hour before he really had to play.Because Romelu Lukaku stayed hanging in the back and raised offside, Roberto Firmino was able to present the ball after a good action, after which De Gea Matip only stopped with the toe of the opening hit.The rebound was then popped next to Mohamed Salah.
That would have been Lukaku’s most striking action if he had not been given an enormous chance just before rest.Manchester United combined in a sparse outbreak through Liverpool’s defense and the Premier League top scorer shot hard at Simon Mignolet’s fists.Apparently courageous drawing from this opportunity, the visitors started the second half a little further away from their own goal, but it wasn’t long before the match ended again in the pattern of the first half.
Liverpool controlled a large part of the ball possession, while Manchester United was lurking backwards for a counter-measure.However, Mourinho’s team did not quite manage to keep the ranks closed, because after a thick ten-minute game Emre Can got a good chance after a handsome ball by Joe Gomez.The German international docked up behind the enemy defense and afterwards struck the ball over the goal of De Gea.The Spaniard could look the ball over his goal and also got away when a handsome Firmino ball just didn’t land on Salah’s head.
In a final phase, when both managers tried to bring fresh blood into their teams with the infusion of players such as Marcus Rashford, Daniel Sturridge and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, the real opportunities did not materialise.Can was closest to a goal with a sprint from the opponent’s defense, but the German ball ended up in the hands of De Gea.For Victor Lindelöf it was still a contest to remember: he made his Premier League debut in the injury time.
Who in your opinion was most entitled to the full three points?
