Szoboszlai 8, Mac Allister 4: rating Liverpool players in Man United defeat

Szoboszlai – 8
Carried the team, sometimes literally taking on the entire opposing team, like when he scored Liverpool’s first goal. Also assisted Cody Gakpo’s second goal.

Gravenberch – 5
Lacked the defensive presence in the middle of the pitch, made it too easy for United to play through the area.

Wirtz – 5
Started up front but could not put himself about there. Shifted to the left after the break, but did not do much better there. Little creativity.
Frimpong – 4.5

Ineffective as a right winger. Slightly better after the break, but still not enough.

Robertson – 4
Headed the ball poorly for United’s first goal and lost an aerial duel to Fernandes who set up the second goal. Subbed off in the 59th minute.

Mac Allister – 4
Had the ball deflected off him for Man United’s first goal, gave it away for the second and made a poor clearance for the third.

The rest: Woodman – 5.5, Jones – 5.5, Konate – 5.5, Van Dijk – 5.5, Gakpo – 6, Kerkez – 5.5, Ngumoha – 6, Chiesa – n/a
