Dijk should have equalised in the 23rd minute, but headed James Milner’s corner on to his shoulder and wide from four yards.

And, 60 seconds later, Rashford scored again.

Another De Gea goal-kick saw Lukaku hold off Dejan Lovren and Emre Can before freeing Juan Mata through the middle.

Van Dijk managed to nick the ball away from the Spaniard, but it fell for Rashford and this time his shot beat Karius with the help of a slight touch off AlexanderArnold’s heel. Then came Liverpool’s riposte. Van Dijk looped a header just over and then referee Craig Pawson turned a blind eye when Andy Robertson’s cross struck Antonio Valencia on the arm.

United nerves started to fray when Sadio Mane outpaced Scott McTominay to whip in a cross that saw Eric Bailly get himself in an embarrassing tangle before diverting the ball past De Gea.

Rashford was replaced by Fellaini – and Klopp complained when the Belgian tangled with Mane and sent him tumbling. “It was a clear foul by Fellaini,” insisted Klopp. “If Fellaini doesn’t foul Sadio, then Sadio scores – or he has a shot. In these games, you must get the decisions right.”
