Manchester United
David de Gea: 7 Only routine saves to make as Liverpool, for all their possession, created little all afternoon.
Ashley Young: 7 A poor back-passin the first minute could have been costly but proved his only error. Kept Mané quiet.
Chris Smalling: 7 Could have been the match-winning hero had he thrown himself at Lukaku’s late cross. Effective in his natural position, however.
Victor Lindelöf: 8 Continues to improve as a United defender. Perfectly placed to deal with every flicker of danger. Dominant.
Luke Shaw: 8 Strong, calm and intelligent in his handling of Salah. Also dealt well with the overlapping runs of Milner.
Ander Herrera: 4 Started the episode of “Casualty” when injuring himself while fouling Matip. More midfield bite left with him.
Scott McTominay: 6 Deputised well for the injured Nemanja Matic. Risky to wrestle Wijnaldum and Matip in the box but otherwise mature.
Paul Pogba: 6 Given little time or space by Henderson and passing not up to usual standards when he did break free.
Juan Mata: 5 The second to depart injured after making a key tackle on Salah inside the area. Had started brightly.
Romelu Lukaku: 4 Roused himself too infrequently for the crowd’s liking. Had the tools to trouble Liverpool but reluctant to use them. Struggling.
Marcus Rashford: 6 Provided his team’s best outlet despite suffering from an early knock when fouled by Henderson. Understandably faded.
Subs Andreas Pereira (for Herera, 20) 6; Jesse Lingard (for Mata, 25) 4; Alexis Sánchez (for Lingard, 42) 4.

Liverpool
Alisson: 8 Reacted superbly to smother Lingard’s excellent chance having been previously unemployed. The mark of a top keeper.
James Milner: 6 Chosen instead of Alexander-Arnold at right-back and prospered in the space outside Pogba.
Joël Matip: 7 Spared a costly own-goal by an offside call against Smalling. Important presence at both ends of the pitch, however.
Virgil van Dijk: 8 Returned from suspension to illustrate his value to Liverpool once again with a commanding display. Key headers denied Lukaku and Pogba.
Andy Robertson: 6 A threat on the overlap only in the closing stages as United’s formation, and Young, kept him in check.
Jordan Henderson: 6 Shifted right to nullify Pogba and achieved that aim before being withdrawn to his obvious displeasure.
Fabinho: 8 Ticked all the boxes in a central role – broke up play, passed well and was strong in the tackle and in the air.
Georginio Wijnaldum: 6 Efficient and industrious as always, although unable to have his usual influence in the final third.
Mohamed Salah: 5 Subdued by Shaw and on the receiving end of several ear-bashings by Klopp before being withdrawn.
Roberto Firmino: 4 Had made an influential start when his ankle buckled playing a routine pass. Always a significant absentee.
Sadio Mané: 5 Very quiet by his recent standards. Struggled to get the better of Young throughout and had little impact.
Subs Daniel Sturridge (for Firmino, 31) 5; Xherdan Shaqiri (for Henderson, 71) 6; Divock Origi (for Salah, 79) 6.
