Player Ratings
LIVERPOOL 67 (4- - ) TEAM AVERAGE 6.1
ALISSON 7 Denied United victory with two excellent late saves from Pogba and Fernandes.
TRENT ALEXANDERARNOLD 6 Kept Martial quiet but didn’t get forward as much as he likes.
JORDAN HENDERSON 6.5 Comfortable as a makeshift centre back, but wasn’t tested enough in the 90 minutes.
FABINHO 7 Calming influence at the back and made an excellent block from Fernandes.
ANDREW ROBERTSON 6.5 Got in a couple of lovely crosses that deserved a better finish from the forwards.
XHERDAN SHAQIRI 6 Did quite well considering it was his first league start for more than a year.
THIAGO 6.5 Authoritative start on his home debut and came strong again in second half.
GEORGINIO WIJNALDUM 6 Movement caused United problems early on, but faded a little towards the end.
MO SALAH 5.5 Subdued by Shaw and couldn’t find the target when he had a sight of goal. ROBERTO FIRMINO 5 Had the best of Liverpool’s chances but his finishing let him down.
SADIO MANE 5 Rarely got the better of Wan-Bissaka. Very quiet by his own high standards.
SUBSTITUTES Milner 6 (for Wijnaldum 89min), Jones 6 (for Shaqiri 76, 6.5), Origi (for Firmino 85). Not used: Minamino, R Williams, Phillips, Kelleher, N Williams, Oxlade-Chamberlain.
JURGEN KLOPP 6.5 Will be happy with the performance from an unfamiliar line-up.
MAN UTD 68.5 (4-2- -1) TEAM AVERAGE 6.2
DAVID DE GEA 6.5 Flying save from Thiago and dealt with everything else comfortably.
AARON WAN-BISSAKA 7 Came out on top with his crucial duel with Mane and got up the pitch well.
VICTOR LINDELOF 7 Justified his selection with several fine interceptions in front of goal.
HARRY MAGUIRE 6.5 Shaky start from him but stood strong for his side when it mattered most.
LUKE SHAW 8 One of his best games. Outstanding in defence and a threat going forward.
SCOTT McTOMINAY 6 There to break up play and add bite to midfield. Did what was asked of him.
FRED 6.5 Countered Liverpool’s threat and broke forward well on several occasions.
PAUL POGBA 6.5 Grew into unfamiliar role on the right-hand side, but blew United’s best chance.
BRUNO FERNANDES 4.5 Probably his worst match for United. Strong passing game was completely off.
ANTHONY MARTIAL 5 Passed fit to start but had little effect. First player to be subbed.
MARCUS RASHFORD 5 Played through the middle but couldn’t stay onside and took wrong options.
SUBSTITUTES Cavani 6 (for Martial 61),
Greenwood (for Fernandes 89). Not used: Bailly, Mata, Henderson, Telles, Matic, Van de Beek, Tuanzebe.
OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER 6 Had a big chance to win at Anfield and will rue not taking it.
REFEREE PAUL TIERNEY 6.5 Blew early for half-time but otherwise handled it well.
