Last time these two sides met at Old Trafford, back in October 2021, it did not end favourably for the hosts. Hello and welcome to our live coverage of this Premier League match between Manchester United and Liverpool. The 30-year-old has not yet been registered by United amid issues with his visa. Liverpool ran out 5-0 winners in a shock result. Joe Gomez, meanwhile, came off the bench against Palace last Monday and Klopp confirmed the England international will start today: “It is an opportunity. •2h ago Joe is back, he will start and it's a big opportunity.” In the US, Peacock will have coverage. United have [Victor Lindelof](https://theathletic.com/football/player/victor-lindelof-KTCFlS2lUObXRtJa/) and [Brandon Williams](https://theathletic.com/football/player/brandon-williams-NKFDFKVRGJxqkNeM/) out, while [Anthony Martial](https://theathletic.com/football/player/anthony-martial-OGGk7EEQ2Ec3MI6H/) could return.

Two of England's greats enter this match after struggling for the first two weeks of the Premier League season.
With Thiago also out of the match, Harvey Elliott will look to continue his strong start to the season. Liverpool may be struggling but United isn't in a place where they can contain Mohamed Salah right now which will make the difference as Liverpool rolls. Due to United's lack of scoring, even though he will feature off the bench, a strong performance against Liverpool could go a long way. Marcus Rashford will look to take advantage of that as United seek their first open play goal of the season. Ten Hag could look to play in a back three or move Martinez up to the midfield to take advantage of what he does well. Liverpool will know this as well looking to get an early goal to rattle the Red Devils.
Two Premier League heavyweights go head to head at Old Trafford in search of their first Premier League win of the season.

Man United fans angry at the direction of the club took part in a protest outside Old Trafford ahead of the match against Liverpool.

The Glazers pledged to rebuild trust with United fans in the wake of that protest, but there has been little evidence of that.

Casemiro has completed his transfer to Manchester United from Real Madrid, subject to UK visa requirements. The midfielder has signed a contract until June ...
To represent United is an honour and I am ready to give everything to help the team achieve our ambitions.” “I have worked with many great managers in my career and, having met with Erik and heard his ideas, I can’t wait to work closely with him, his staff and my new team-mates in the coming years. Casemiro has completed his transfer to Manchester United from Real Madrid, subject to UK visa requirements.
Dissatisfaction with the Glazer family's ownership has some of the team's fans urging supporters to boycott Monday night's game.
The 1958, named after the year of a plane crash in Munich that killed nine United players, is one of the key groups leading the campaign to oust the American billionaires. They’re urging supporters to stop buying merchandise and official packages, use anti-Glazer hashtags as frequently as possible and damage the family’s business links. But this evening’s encounter in Manchester will be viewed as much for events off the field as on it.
The Brazilian has rejected claims that he is leaving Real Madrid for money and says he hopes Ronaldo stays in Manchester.
I already spoke with the club as soon as the Champions League finished. I feel I’m really fit, mentally I feel great, and I want to continue to enjoy. After the holidays, with a clear head, the feeling was the same. At the end of the Champions League final [when I am going through one of the best moments of my career. Casemiro’s enthusiasm for the move caused him to express regret the transfer will not be official in time for him to face Liverpool at Old Trafford on Monday evening.

Ahead of the team news being announced, it's worth noting that United have pretty much their whole squad to choose from. Harvey Elliot starting is a big plus for the Reds. Madrid, in the emotional statement (“Real Madrid is and always will be your home”), confirmed the Brazilian’s move to Manchester United. Some tidy play around the Liverpool area eventually finds the feet of Sancho in the middle of the box. It's a fairly standard volley for a professional footballer but the Englishman sclaffs it and De Gea watches it bounce harmlessly wide. More slack play from the visitors in midfield (do they think it's still preseason?) and Rashford is sent free into the right channel. Diaz beats Dalot down the left and wins a corner. Rashford is one-on-one with Alisson, gives him the eyes, and slides it straight ahead into the near post. As I said in the build-up, the long list of injuries at Anfield mean options are limited. On the evidence of today, neither of these sides will be. That will waste a few more minutes as the final whistle approaches. Fabinho gets a header at goal but it's easy for De Gea to gather.

Liverpool conceded 26 goals last season, tied for fewest in the league, while Man U allowed 57. United are third in the league in time of possession (65 percent), so Liverpool shouldn't be able to take full control. Green has broken down the Liverpool vs. The Red Devils still have a lot of pride, and they aren't lacking in talent. The Reds have scored 13 goals in the past three meetings with Manchester United, and Brentford embarrassed the Red Devils' back line last weekend. Before locking in any Liverpool vs. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Liverpool have won three straight against the Red Devils, including a 5-0 victory in their meeting in Manchester last October. The Reds are hoping their talented attack can overwhelm the floundering Manchester United defense, but United will have a real sense of desperation and the backing of the Old Trafford faithful.
'The 1958' group led the demonstration on Monday night, where thousands of supporters marched towards Old Trafford.
The message on another flag read: ‘We want our club back’, while smoke from flares filled the air and there was plenty of anti-Glazer chanting. ‘United for $ale’ read a banner stretched across the front of the crowd that moved slowly and loudly towards Old Trafford, with more supporters joining en route. Supporters are at their wits’ end with the controversial owners, and recently-formed group ‘The 1958’ led the latest demonstration against the Americans before kick-off.
Manchester United pulled out a stunning victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford and fans around the world couldn't help but pile on the losers.
Thus, there seemed to be no way the visiting side wasn’t going to, at worst, come away with a draw if not an emphatic win.

Even still, it’s a long season and we’re only three matches in.
Under new manager Erik ten Hag, Manchester United have yet to score a goal from open play, only finding the back of the net through an own goal, while losing ...
With Thiago also out of the match, Harvey Elliott will look to continue his strong start to the season. Due to United's lack of scoring, even though he will feature off the bench, a strong performance against Liverpool could go a long way. All eyes will be on Marcus Rashford leading the line as Manchester United look to score their first goal from open play. It's all United but can they keep the intensity up in the match or will Liverpool find their footing? After bursting out the gates in the first 20 mintues with Sancho scoring a goal, Liverpool were the better side for the remainder of the half. It's the first time that we've seen Manchester United look like an Erik ten Hag team but it takes a lot of effort out of them. He uses his pace and leaves the defense in the dust but you can see how much that goal meant to him and the team. That's one way to make sure that the momentum continues in the second half. Not to get complacent, ten Hag subbed on Anthony Martial for Anthony Elanga at the half and it paid dividends. It's a terrible defensive showing for Liverpool and they're running out of time to turn this around. It was redemption day for Manchester United and Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford powered the Red Devils to a 2-1 win over Liverpool at Old Trafford. The intensity against an injured Liverpool team that has yet to win a game this season was hard to match as Erik ten Hag's squad made it the half with a one-goal.

United’s latest signing, Brazil midfielder Casemiro, arrived at Old Trafford earlier Monday ahead of the Liverpool match and was introduced to fans on the field before kickoff as his transfer was being confirmed by the club. The Glazers pledged to rebuild trust with United fans in the wake of that protest but there has been little evidence of that. In recent years, two of United’s biggest rivals, Manchester City and Liverpool, have dominated the domestic game. Critics say the Glazers, who also own the NFL’s Buccaneers, have failed to invest enough of their own cash in the squad or facilities and have presided over years of failure by England’s biggest team. There appeared to be a robust police presence on Sir Matt Busby Way at the entrance to the stadium forecourt. Two police officers were injured in clashes with fans.

Prior to Monday’s game against Liverpool, United fans organized a protest of the Glazer family. Given the protest occurring just outside Old Trafford’s walls, fans of the opposing team opted to cheer the Glazer family and even use masks to do so. fans trolled Manchester United for their cheap ownership — namely the Glazer family — before Monday’s match.
Cheers for the new signing before victory over Liverpool were drowned out by chants of 'We want Glazers out'
Fernandes was prominent throughout, looking to release Marcus Rashford behind an uncertain Liverpool defence at the earliest opportunity and revelling in the space between Klopp’s midfield and central defence. Liverpool could have over-ran United’s central midfield of Eriksen and Scott McTominay with an extra man and Roberto Firmino regularly dropping into the hole between them. At least Casemiro will have been encouraged by the intensity and flashes of quality that underpinned his new club’s win over Jürgen Klopp’s side. United have committed to spend an eye-watering total of £142.8m on the 30-year-old — a fee rising to £70m plus a four-year contract worth £350,000-a-week — and the sums involved in luring the midfielder from a glittering nine-year career at the Bernabeu signal the desperation at Old Trafford. Their merited victory rounded off a hectic and head-spinning day for Casemiro who, having bid a tearful farewell to Real Madrid in the morning, arrived at Old Trafford several hours before kick off to take in his new environment. United’s first win of the season at least dragged attention back to where it should always be.

But they were worthy of the three points with their most complete performance under Ten Hag to move them above Jurgen Klopp's side and lift some of the clouds hanging over the club.
Jamie Carragher has described Liverpool's performance in their 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford as "embarrassing" and "shocking".
"That can't be a one-off. I didn't think Manchester United were capable. I don't know what it is but I cannot believe what I have witnessed. "I don't know what's happened this week on the training ground, but they've responded. "The fight, spirit and energy from Manchester United was brilliant. "Liverpool were absolutely shocking defensively.

"We need to pick up our performances individually and collectively." Now, you see we bring the attitude," Ten Hag said afterwards, according to the Guardian. "We are in a tricky situation, injury-wise, we got through the week with 14, 15 senior players available and now have to make sure they don't get injured. Because they can f**king play good football." "We give every team a goal start," said Liverpool full-back Andy Robertson, according to the BBC. "We can't give ourselves an uphill battle.
Ahead of the Liverpool game, Erik ten Hag was keen to put tactics to one side and talk about his Manchester United team delivering “the basic stuff”.
The Old Trafford crowd can accept losing, but it cannot accept a lack of effort and desire. But what they don’t spell out is the passion and bite behind those numbers. It was the manner in which United went about the evening's business that really seemed to rouse the raucous crowd. As Liverpool sought an unlikely route back into the game during the closing stages, we understandably dropped deeper and ceded possession. The Reds played some great stuff on the ball, but what seemed to most please a vociferous Old Trafford crowd was the simple aggression and graft on show. What did he mean?
Raphael Varane has said Manchester United new signing Casemiro has backed his former Real Madrid teammate to be a success at Old Trafford.
"It's difficult to explain why but we didn't start the games with the same intensity, with the same fighting spirit," Varane added. "It's a similar process that I had so obviously I wish him the best and I'm speaking with him a lot, but he didn't need me to make his choice." "He needs a new challenge, I know exactly what he feels, and I know exactly why he chose this club.

Later in the first half, Raphael Varane, who replaced Maguire, virtually rugby-tackled Luis Diaz to the ground, to roars of approval from United's fans even if it earned him a booking. "I wanted a different attitude and that is what I saw them bring on the pitch," said Ten Hag, who has started his tenure at United amid something of a crisis at England's biggest club. Mohamed Salah scored an 81st-minute consolation but it was another below-par display from Liverpool after draws with Fulham and Crystal Palace.
Manchester United beat Liverpool 2-1 as a display full of fight, grit and quality stunned Jurgen Klopp's side. The Erik ten Hag era has officially started.
Only a shock win against Liverpool would lift it and that would only be momentarily as Erik ten Hag has to usher in a new style of player with a group of players seriously lacking in confidence. Martial being back is a big boost for United as he was flying in preseason in a fluid front three. At the back, Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez both continue to struggle, while David de Gea had a nightmare at Brentford last time out. McTominay, Bruno Fernandes and Eriksen all ran themselves into the ground and aside from a 15 minute period at the end of the first half, Liverpool were never allowed to dictate the tempo of the game. As for Liverpool, they have hardly had a good start to the new season. Liverpool’s worst start to a PL season in 10 years underlines their struggles, but this set in at the end of last season and they can’t keep fighting back in games. United going long, early and often, and they have Liverpool on the back foot. United then had quality in the final third to make all of their hard work count. This game exposed Liverpool’s lack of signings in midfield and Klopp may well go to his board and ask for a midfield addition before the window shuts. Fired up United back up Erik ten Hag’s big calls: Leaving out Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire was a huge call by Erik ten Hag and boy did he get it right. 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. Liverpool’s midfield overrun: Starting James Milner and Harvey Elliott ahead of Fabinho didn’t quite work and Liverpool’s midfield was so easy to play through in the first half.
Having your explanations for defeat be dismissed as little more than 'excuses' is something of an occupational hazard for football managers, ...
This failure to bolster the centre of the park, as well as a number of summer departures from Anfield, has ultimately led to a sense that the squad that has started this season is weaker than the one that finished the last. Of course, even if that is indeed the case, it feels like an oversight not to do more to bring in one of the two midfielders this team already needs in order to get their adaptation process underway. And most frustratingly of all, the shortfall in terms of both availability and quality in that area of the pitch that led to this state of affairs had been foreseen by the majority of supporters before a ball was kicked this season.

[announced her retirement](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/aug/22/ellen-white-announces-retirement-from-football-england-manchester-city-euro-2022) a few seconds after we hit the Big Send Button at Fiver Towers on Monday. Towards the end, a pitch invader ran straight into the penalty box, got a few yards from the ball and then slipped in a way any slapstick comedian would be proud of. Already bemused, the post-match arrival of Stormzy with several children in tow reduced Keano to a post-match state of almost total bafflement. You see, that’s the thing about football fans – when push comes to shove most can’t bring themselves to abandon their team in its hour of need. What was supposed to be an evening of barely contained rage and fury – motivated by the levels of stagnation to which these American chancers have let the club descend – actually ended up being one of the more euphoric experiences season ticket holders have enjoyed in quite some time. Monday Night Football has prided itself on its cutting-edge innovation ever since Richard Keys and Andy Gray invented football punditry almost 30 years ago to the day.
Elanga, who replaced Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting eleven, looked like a player possessed, constantly pressing Alexander-Arnold.
Elanga, who replaced Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting eleven, looked like a player possessed, constantly pressing Alexander-Arnold, who looked out of sorts, and winning the duels. Six minutes later, he turned provider to the Jadon Sancho opener. Now you see we bring the attitude. That United had not scored a goal off their own in nearly 190 minutes—the one against Brighton was an own goal—aptly reflected the toothlessness of their front-line. The full-backs—Tyrell Malacia, who had displaced the lacklustre Luke Shaw, and Diogo Dalot—too were exceptional in curbing the menace of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson. But the performance against Liverpool was as resolute a rearguard they had produced in recent times. A technically gifted centre-back, he contributed to the opening goal too, stealing the ball off Bobby Firmino and belting it upfield, besides his cool tackling and composure in duress. Often, Sancho has looked ponderous—this goal could change it. They lacked ingenuity, physicality and presence of mind. Once Casemiro takes McTominay’s place, Eriksen could be all the more influential a presence. So much so that they were a team unrecognisable from the shambles they were against Brentford last week. Manchester United were a team transformed against Liverpool.
Erik ten Hag's Red Devils responded in a huge way at home with a win over Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.
They were also solid defensively tracking back to prevent Liverpool from overloading the defense which is something that can't be done with Ronaldo in the side. The trio of Sancho, Rashford, and Elanga/Martial took care of all the necessary attacking damage to deliver a blow to Liverpool. With a few more performances like this, they could be deemed surplus to requirements along with Luke Shaw after Tyrell Malacia contained Salah, who still managed to find the back of the net late in the proceedings. Liverpool, meanwhile, are left to pick up the pieces after three games without a win and a performance to forget at Old Trafford as they were outworked on every area of the pitch. Not to get complacent, ten Hag subbed on Anthony Martial for Anthony Elanga at the half and it paid dividends. It was redemption day for Manchester United as Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford powered the Red Devils to a 2-1 win over Liverpool at Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag finally picked up his first win in charge at Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag has caught up with an old friend who was at Carrington on Tuesday afternoon.
Former colleague Schmeichel was in the directors' box and Peter's fellow Dane Michael Laudrup, who played for both Barcelona and Real Madrid, was working for the overseas media. He played in some big games for the club, including the 1997 Champions League semi-final with Borussia Dortmund, 3-2 defeat to Real Madrid in the same competition in 2000 and the 1999 UEFA Super Cup final with Lazio. Van der Gouw represented the Reds between 1996 and 2002, after arriving from Vitesse Arnhem to be Peter Schmeichel's deputy.
