United did not allow Liverpool to build the momentum and intensity that has characterised their game this season, while Mourinho’s limited attacking ambitions ensured chances were at a premium.

Goalkeeper David de Gea made two fine second-half saves one from Emre Can and also saved athletically Philippe Coutinho’s 25-yard effort. United’s best chance also came in the second half, but the unmarked Zlatan Ibrahimovic directed Paul Pogba’s cross off target.

Manchester United had just 35% of possession while Liverpool dominated 65% of the possession which shown how great Liverpool dominated the match.

Man United’s 35% possession is their lowest in a Premier League match since Opta began recording the data in 2003-04.

Although man United had a difficult time at Liverpool domicile, Ander Herrera was the man of the match after making more touches on the ball (90) other any other player of the red devils.

Ander Herrera was at the heart of United’s smothering gameplan, almost operating in the pockets of Coutinho and Roberto Firmino in midfield, while Liverpool were never given a second.

They simply could not find a way through because of Herrera’s play making that he had last night.
