The visitors struggled to create any meaningful chances thereafter, and Manchester United cruised to a comfortable victory. The result was a significant boost for Manchester United’s title hopes. The Red Devils moved level on points with leaders Manchester City and now have a game in hand. Liverpool, meanwhile, suffered a setback in their pursuit of a top-four finish. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag was delighted with his team’s performance. “We played a fantastic game. The intensity, the fighting spirit, the belief, it was all there,” he said after the match. “We deserved the victory, and I am very proud of my players.” Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was disappointed with the result but praised Manchester United’s display. “They were better than us today.
