Good shift. Nunez is pure vermin. How did he not get a Red for that?

That's just it, when all the celebrations die down from a famous draw at Anfield Man United fans will have to start to wonder where that performance was for the past 4 games.
They didn't do anything after beating City, it's what they do next now will be interesting.
Tomorrow is not guaranteed

Has been plenty of good performances this season but undone by giving away silly, soft goals that could easily have been the case again today with the manner of the goals conceded and had Liverpool held on to the 2-1 lead.

We must have been watching two different teams they were good today very good easily ths best they gave played all season. Even the win at city was one of the worst games you will see no team deserved to win really.

Diallo has a touch of the Saka's, quality player, season is reduced to a potential 9 game Europa League campaign, everything else is an audition to make the cut for next season, performance like that would make you think Europe's doable

De Ligt at fault for both goals, the sooner Amorim realises he's not up to it the better. Yoro should be given the right sided centre back role as soon as possible.

He didn't lead with the elbow though. It was close to red, but not nailed on.

Had Maguire scored the last chance, it would have been ruled out anyway for offside.

How many full United games have you watched this season? For example the United performance today wasn't much different to the Old Trafford game between the two and instead United wasted goal opportunities and undone by three goals when in possession of the ball, the only three shots Liverpool had in the match.

Defensively was as good as United played this season away to City recently. City created next to nothing from open play, that wasn't the case with Liverpool today as had good chances to score other than the two they scored.

Don't be daft, games gone if that's a red.

I was impressed with Man United today, Superfans like Captain Obvious will be disappointed not to win that. As brave as they were going forward I think if they had of been a little braver then Liverpool were absolutely there for the taking.

As a neutral the second half was great, was like a proper Liverpool v Man United game, and after the hammerings Man United have gotten off Liverpool the past few seasons it was great to see a competitive league game between them.

Man United should definitely be encouraged and maybe even second half of the season push for European places if they don't as expected win the Europa League of course.
SHOCKING REVELATIONS!!!

United are a bit like Rangers atm, up for the big games but lacking the same intensity for the bog standard games. That's the first thing Amorin has to change.

The two teams could barely string two passes together in Manchester derby two teams completely devoid of any confidence. Teams have continually picked holes between the defence and midfield and a number of embarrassing losses Bournemouth and Spurs at home spring to mind. I have yet to hear anyone supporting Man United say they have played well this season but if that's what you think your entitled to your opinion.

Nothing to do with leading with the elbow. He shouldered to the head. It was clear he had no intention of gojng for the ball. That's dangerous play.

Regardless of confidence levels no other side that played City away this season prevented them from creating next to nothing from open play.

Tottenham game half of it was played with 10 men. Bournemouth at home embarrassing result but it didn't reflect the performance and stats back that up.  Under Teg Hag and now under Amorim the main issues is the lack of clinical edge and the habit of the opposition not having to work hard to score goals as United give up so many soft goals from errors and regular lapses in concentration and that was no different today.

I thought it was a borderline red as well tbh. And completely senseless as well.
