Manchester United defeated Liverpool 2-1 in a performance that shocked Jurgen Klopp’s team with its fight, grit, and quality.
At Manchester United, the Erik ten Hag era has begun.
Jadon Sancho’s skillful strike gave United their first victory under Erik ten Hag, and Marcus Rashford’s excellent counterattacking goal gave Liverpool additional cause for concern. Mohamed Salah did score for Liverpool late on, but it was too little, too late.
Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo were omitted from the starting eleven by Erik ten Hag, but the additions of Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, and Lisandro Martinez, as well as Scott McTominay, Raphael Varane, and Diogo Dalot, fully supported those significant decisions.

In truth, every single United player ran themselves into the ground for the cause and this was a hugely positive reaction to their disappointing defeats against Brighton and Brentford to open the season.
With the win United have three points, climbing above Liverpool who have two points from their opening three games. This was Liverpool’s first defeat in 22 Premier League games, as Klopp will point to huge injury issues but his side simply didn’t turn up for most of one of their biggest games of the season.
