Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo, Manchester United midfielders spearheaded the charge against Liverpool, shocking any Manchester United fan’s expectations. “It was a little lesson for Liverpool. The players maybe got a bit carried away,” said Jamie Carraghe, Former Liverpool defender. Mo Salah, Liverpool right winger, was poised to win the game from the get-go and each time United had the ball during the first half, Liverpool went toe-to-toe.
