Manchester United were too strong for Liverpool on Monday night. The Red Devils have decided to make four changes from the side that were beaten 4-0 by Brentford last week, with the likes of Harry Maguire, Fred, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luke Shaw leaving. And it led to United producing their best display in recent memory. Sancho opened the scoring in the first half, showing great composure to slot past Alisson Becker. And Rashford beat Alisson in the second half, with Mohamed Salah then netting a consolation for the visitors to spark a frantic finale. Ten Haag was questioned about the performance by his team afterwards and accidentally swore, forcing an apology from Sky Sports in the process. Takeover of Manchester United: The Glazers have five reasons to sell Manchester United “It means a lot. Our first two games didn’t go that well and we turned it around today,” he said. “Last week hurt a lot and we knew we had to bounce back and tonight we showed the fans what we can do. “I didn’t realize how much time I had but once I dropped the defender I needed the composure to finish. “It means a lot to all of us, you can see how the fans react. We got the three points but we move on to the next one. “We just have to produce like today in every game. Happy to get the three points and move on.” Manchester United’s fixtures: When Erik ten Hag’s side face every Premier League team And Rashford was pleased too. The England international said: “We just started the game at a higher tempo, we were tired towards the end, we kept going, we stuck with it and got a goal back and we didn’t concede – we continued to defend well. “It was a pleasant game. “It’s a massive game for the club, I’ve always said, no matter what conditions you’re in in a Liverpool game. “It’s huge no matter what. To get the win is massive, we didn’t do so well at the start of the season so it’s good to get the first three points.” Want the new Man Utd shirt? click here to buy it. He then added: “It was a goal I’ve scored quite regularly. I felt I was in good areas, good positions and on another day I could have had a few more goals. “Go on and focus on the next game.” On the switch to the left wing in the second half, he continued: “It’s just the flexibility we have in the team especially in attack. “The game was going well, in the first half we attacked in good areas but we weren’t getting the end product we deserved in the first half. “In the second half, slightly less clear-cut chances but we did better with them, for us to switch, cut and switch positions like that is always a positive.” Want the latest football news?
