Harry Maguire and Bryan Mbeumo were the two players who scored for MU, bringing 3 points for the "Red Devils" right on the away field. After the match, De Ligt admitted that MU took advantage of the opponent's weakness to have an important victory.

“We know Liverpool have weaknesses in their full-backs. The whole team is well prepared and focused. This is a game where you have to play with absolute concentration,” said De Ligt.

In fact, Liverpool coach Arne Slot started Conor Bradley and Milos Kerkez on the wings, instead of choosing familiar names like Jeremie Frimpong or Andy Robertson. This partly exposed many gaps in the Kop's defense system for MU to exploit.

For the opening goal, Mbeumo took advantage of Amad Diallo's assist from the right wing. For the second goal, Bruno Fernandes also crossed the ball from the left wing, creating conditions for Maguire to head the ball into Liverpool's net.

With this defeat, Liverpool have lost 3 consecutive matches in the Premier League, falling behind in the championship race when Arsenal widened the gap to 4 points. Meanwhile, the victory helped MU rise to 9th place, only 2 points behind Liverpool.
