Man Utd vs Liverpool LIVE: Latest score and Premier League updates

Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to deliberately blank Jamie Carragher, one of his harshest critics, before Manchester United’s match against Liverpool on Monday night.

Ronaldo was dropped to the bench by new manager Erik ten Hag for the visit of the Liverpool to Old Trafford following United’s humiliation at Brentford and amid rumours he is looking to leave the club.

The striker still found time to greet Sky Sports pundits Gary Neville and Roy Keane broadcasting on the touchline before kick-off, but ignored former Liverpool defender Carragher.

45+1 mins: The half-time break arrives with Manchester United taking a one goal lead off the pitch. Liverpool rallied to control the final 15 minutes of the half but they’ve got work to do at Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag will be incredibly pleased with what he’s just seen from his team.

43 mins: Close! Liverpool almost get incredible lucky from the corner. The cross is whipped to the back post and headed back over to the far side of the six yard box.

It bounces to Bruno Fernandes who tries to clear it. He can’t wrap his foot around the ball and drills it at his own goal but Martinez is waiting on the line and the ball whacks him in the chest before he can clear the rebound.

40 mins: Chance! Mo Salah drifts into the box as Alexander-Arnold brings the ball down the right side. He squares it across to Firmino who lays the ball off to Salah but his shot is deflected behind by Lisandro Martinez.

The United defenders all applaud each other for keeping it out.

37 mins: Luis Diaz presses Raphael Varane high up the pitch and wins Liverpool a corner. The visitors have slowly turned the momentum around and United are on the back foot.

Liverpool haven’t created many clear chances at goal yet though. David De Gea has had a quiet night.

34 mins: It’s not quite clicked for Liverpool yet. They haven’t been their fluid selves but this is a good move. Diaz plays it across to Henderson who knocks it to Harvey Elliott. He turns the ball over to Mo Salah who slides Alexander-Arnold into the box.

He pulls it back to Elliott who shoots but has his effort blocked.

31 mins: Diogo Dalot puts the ball out ofr play and gives Liverpool their first corner of the game. It’s whipped into the box and Jordan Henderson looks to flick it on but the ball is too far out of reach for him.

Man Utd clear the danger.

28 mins: Raphael Varane joins Trent Alexander-Arnold in the book for a lunge on Luis Diaz. Liverpool fail to fully capitalise on the free kick but they’re seeing more of the ball now.

25 mins: Save! Alisson is called into action once more to deny Christian Eriksen his first goal for Manchester United.

The Red Devils win another free kick – for a tackle that earned Alexander-Arnold a yellow card – and Eriksen whips his shot right over to the far corner.

Alisson leaps to his left and manages to tip the ball just past the post.

22 mins: Sancho knocks the ball over to the edge of the box where Marcus Rashford collects it and drills one at goal only to see his effort stopped by Joe Gomez.

What’s going through Jurgen Klopp’s head right now? His team is getting played off the pitch.
