Manchester United lost 4-0 to Liverpool. The match seems to have reflected their form this season. They have conceded a total of nine goals in this year’s Premier League against arch-rivals Liverpool. Couldn’t give the opposite one.

This is the first time since the 1892-93 season that they have set a shameful record of scoring the most goals against a specific opponent in the first two legs. He could not take a single shot in the first half of the match. United coach Raf Ranknik called the loss against Liverpool “shameful and embarrassing”.
“It’s embarrassing, frustrating, maybe even insulting,” he said. We have to admit that they are six years ahead of United. When Jurgen Klopp arrived, he changed the club completely and took not only the team but also the club and the city to new heights. We have to do the same in the next transfer season.
Ranknik started with five defenders against Liverpool. Phil Jones was given a place in the starting XI. But he changed that plan in the second half. Jordan named Sancho as his replacement. Ranknik thinks that even if he changed his strategy, nothing good would happen.
“I think in the beginning, if we had a different strategy, something would have changed,” he said. The first goal I scored was not part of the strategy to get so high in five minutes. That is what changed the game. ‘
‘We weren’t good enough in the first half. We did not win any first or second ball. Everywhere we went we were second best. In the second half, I played with Sancho instead of a center back. The first 25 minutes we were good, there was pressure on the ball. We had two or three moments, but the third goal ended the match.
