We need the points and could have won the game in the end, but it is a fair result. Both teams played good football.

“I’m very upset. If we showed this level in Liverpool, first in the league, why can’t we do it everywhere? It frustrates me. Also, finally I performed adequately. We said we need more from ourselves to achieve more from this season.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said it could have been worse for his team if Maguire had converted a late chance. He said: “I’m definitely disappointed by dropping points at home, but that’s the way it is and we have to move forward and we will do that.”

“We drew 2-1 and it’s about trying to manage the game and keep the ball longer than three, four passes. We lost the ball too easily at times, and then we were more open than we should have been. We’re not perfect. We’re still learning and we have to learn from this as well.” .

The defender said that Liverpool did not underestimate United, despite the problems its rival faces this season.

“This is all the media talks about,” he said. “It has nothing to do with us. We prepared for a very difficult match as we saw today. We did not think about any of that.”

United manager Ruben Amorim has endured a poor start to his tenure at Old Trafford, with the club suffering six defeats in September, culminating in a four-game losing streak.

“We are in a difficult moment,” Amorim told Sky Sports. “If you play against Liverpool every day, we will regain positions like that. But if you play against any opponent, we will need to do that. We have proven that we can do it. The way we have been really competitive, that is what we have to move forward with.”

“It’s not just the players, it’s all the staff at the club. I’m happy with the performance, not the results. But I’m really angry about the other matches,” Amorim continued after United suffered their fourth defeat in a row and their sixth in December against Newcastle on Monday.
