Liverpool had an early goal disallowed before Luis Diaz scored twice within seven minutes in the first half. Mohamed Salah added a third shortly after halftime, and United were lucky to avoid a repeat of their 2021 5-0 thrashing in the same fixture.

The defeat was particularly disappointing for Ten Hag, as his starting XI featured six of his signings, including £50.5m Uruguay midfielder Manuel Ugarte, who was introduced to fans before the game.
United now sit 14th in the Premier League with just three points from their first three matches. However, Ten Hag downplayed the negativity surrounding the result, emphasizing that no one should expect him to work miracles.
“It is not like I am Harry Potter,” he said. “You have to acknowledge that.
“For three players it was their first start of the season.
“Manuel Ugarte did not play one minute – he needs to build his fitness. Then we have to build him into the team. I am sure he will contribute to our team. It will take a couple of weeks, maybe even a month. That is the same for a lot of players.”
