Manchester United supporters in attendance at Old Trafford are growing increasingly frustrated at how the clash with Liverpool is unfolding in front of them.
Luis Diaz was gifted two quickfire goals from Casemiro, whose first-half performance was so dismal that he was replaced by 19-year-old debutant Toby Collyer at the interval, having lost possession 13 times – the most of any player – in 45 minutes.
Moments after play resumed, Mohamed Salah extended Liverpool’s lead to 3-0 when picking up where the side left off. United are now evidently under the cosh, and Arne Slot’s men are ready to take full advantage of that.
Attack-wise, Marcus Rashford, in particular, is struggling yet again to make even the slightest of an impact in the few chances United have had to reduce the deficit.
He was on the receiving end of some ‘grief’ from supporters in the stands when he opted against taking on the Liverpool defence at 3-0 down, instead choosing to turn and carry the ball towards the halfway line.
“Mufc fans now getting on Rashford’s back after he turned back,” Samuel Luckhurst shared to X/Twitter, while Simon Stone added: “Marcus Rashford getting a bit of grief from the fans close to me for not taking on the Liverpool defence when he got the ball just then.”
