Manchester United have had their say in the Premier League title race, holding Liverpool to a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford. Here’s how our reporters rated both sets of players
Manchester United
Andre Onana
After a torrid first half of the season, the Cameroon goalkeeper has been a different player since the turn of the year. Made some big saves. 8/10
Diogo Dalot
With United’s midfield offering little protection, he found himself ganged up on at times but worked tirelessly and offered a threat going forward. 7/10
Willy Kambwala
Drafted into central defence given United’s injury crisis at the back, the youngster enjoyed the physical duel with Darwin Nunez. 7/10
Harry Maguire
Often at his best when United have their back against the wall. Struggled on the ball but imposing aerially and defended box well late on. 7/10
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
What was he thinking diving in on Harvey Elliott like that with the Liverpool forward running away from goal? A hare-brained decision. 4/10
Casemiro
A five-time Champions League winner but at times you would not have known it. Gave the ball away too often. 4/10
Alejandro Garnacho
Full of running as always and played his part in the goal. United’s only real outlet. The Argentine has been one of United’s few consistent performers this season. 7/10
Kobbie Mainoo
Shades of Federico Macheda against Aston Villa with his exquisite turn and finish for the equaliser in front of England assistant manager Steve Holland. 7/10
Bruno Fernandes
Adjusted his feet to take his stunning long-range goal from the edge of the centre circle quite brilliantly. Put a real shift in second half. 7/10
Marcus Rashford
Another no show. With Steve Holland watching on, Rashford is in growing danger of surrendering his spot in the England squad for Euro 2024. 4/10
Rasmus Hojlund
It must be deeply frustrating being a centre-forward in this United side. Ran a lot and one nice through ball for Antony the Brazilian could not convert. 6/10
Liverpool
Caoihmin Kelleher
Has now played more games than Alisson this season. His last Old Trafford visit was traumatising. It was no different when chipped by Fernandes from 50 yards. 6/10
Conor Bradley
An early booking must have had Klopp thinking of introducing Gomez early. The change inevitably followed after 66 minutes. Strong going forward as usual. 6/10
Jarrell Quansah
Surprisingly preferred to Konate, his blemish for United’s equaliser turned the game. The broader concern now is how often it will be repeated as a turning point in title race. 6/10
Virgil van Dijk
Spent more time in the first half trying to launch attacks then mark United attackers. Must be at a loss as to how he has been part of a defence that’s conceded six in two games at Old Trafford. 7/10
Andy Robertson
Edging back to his best. Should have broken the assist record for a Liverpool full-back within the first 30 minutes. Barely tested defensively. 7/10
Wataru Endo
As usual, kept it tidy in midfield, anchoring alongside Mac Allister, until mayhem ensued. Had to be subbed as Liverpool lost control. 6/10
Dominik Szoboszlai
A few shots from range early on. Joined the list of culprits missing good opportunities to kill the game before half-time and too often wasteful with passing. 6/10
Alexis Mac Allister
United tried to man-mark Mac Allister. After 45 minutes it looked like it would backfire. Liverpool’s outstanding player again, playing as both attacking and defensive midfield. 7/10
