The post-match exchanges in the Sky studio that were all over social media by the time we got home from Anfield were a little peculiar. 

Gary Neville facing off across what at times felt like a school playground with Jamie Carragher and our own Graeme Souness. Kelly Cates was the bemused teacher.

Neville did make a salient point, though, which was that for all Liverpool's possession, Manchester United had the better chances in the first half. Bruno Fernandes missed one and Marcus Rashford the other.

United carry a threat these days. 

For a while under Ralf Rangnick and before that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, United were a team that didn't create chances, that would go huge swathes of time in games without a shot on goal. Erik ten Hag has changed that in a short space of time.
