McTominay played as a defensive midfielder in the absence of Nemanja Matic and put up a spirited display for United. He impressed with his tackling abilities and ball control and won a lot of balls in the midfield. However, Andreas Pereira, who came in for Ander Herrera, failed to have any notable contribution in the match.

Alexis Sanchez was also a peripheral figure for the majority of the second half and fell back to the midfield often to play in a defensive role. Pogba was more aggressive in the second half and created some chances for the forwards too. However, those were not enough to perturb the Liverpool defenders.
Victor Lindelof was a rock in United’s defence and made a number of vital blocks and interceptions. It was his 27th appearance of the season, and he remains one of the best defenders in the Premier League at the moment. Chris Smalling was also quite good and did not allow the Liverpool forwards any free space in the final third.
