Erik ten Hag won his first game as Manchester United manager, defeating Liverpool 2-1 at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils got off to the better start of the two teams, and Jadon Sancho calmly swept the ball into the net to give them the lead after 15 minutes. As the game went on, Liverpool took control and came close to tying it just before halftime, but Lisandro Martinez cleared the ball off the line after James Milner’s header.
Marcus Rashford, who was put through on goal by Anthony Martial, displayed excellent composure to slot past Alisson, but it was United who increased their lead.
Although Mohamed Salah gave Jurgen Klopp’s team a chance to respond, it was too late as the Reds fell to their first loss of the year.
