Para o Manchester United, o primeiro tempo da partida contra o Liverpool pareceu um passeio de domingo à tarde no parque. A equipe estava dominando o jogo após marcar dois gols em apenas 14 minutos, e seu maior rival mal havia conseguido tocá-la. O segundo tempo, porém, foi mais parecido com uma briga generalizada em um bar depois de uma cerveja a mais. Mas tudo terminou com o garoto da casa, Kobbie Mainoo, dando a palavra final.
Arne Slot criticou duramente a arbitragem após a dolorosa derrota do Liverpool por 3 a 2 para o Manchester United, alegando que houve um “padrão constante” de decisões do VAR contra sua equipe nesta temporada. O técnico, visivelmente frustrado, destacou um gol polêmico de Benjamin Sesko, que envolveu uma suspeita de mão na bola, lamentando os erros defensivos recorrentes e o azar de sua equipe.
O técnico interino do Manchester United, Michael Carrick, admitiu ter ficado “muito abalado” com a notícia de que Sir Alex Ferguson foi levado ao hospital pouco antes da vitória dramática dos Red Devils sobre o Liverpool. O lendário ex-técnico do United passou mal no Old Trafford antes do início da partida, precisando de atendimento médico por precaução.
Michael Carrick manteve-se evasivo quanto ao seu futuro no Manchester United após a dramática vitória por 3 a 2 sobre o Liverpool no domingo. O técnico interino liderou uma recuperação notável desde que assumiu o cargo, garantindo oficialmente o retorno do clube à Liga dos Campeões, mas insiste que a contratação definitiva está, em última instância, fora de seu controle.
A lenda do Manchester United, Roy Keane, admitiu que ainda está esperando para ser totalmente convencido por Kobbie Mainoo, apesar das jogadas heroicas do jovem contra o Liverpool no domingo. O ex-capitão dos Red Devils acredita que ainda há um “problema” significativo que o meio-campista precisa resolver antes de poder ser considerado um talento de alto nível.
