Liverpool player ratings: 0-1 Manchester United
By Tom Bogert
Simon Mignolet, 5:
Mignolet stat (via Andrew Beasley @BassTurnedToRed on Twitter): Manchester United have had four shots on target against Liverpool this season. They have scored four goals.
This is yet another match that if the keepers were swapped Liverpool would’ve won. Mignolet was called on once and if he saved Rooney’s strike it would’ve been an incredible save. It was absolutely smashed from about six yards out, but it was essentially right at his face and went in the net.
Again, he can’t be expected to make that save. But would it have been surprising had de Gea saved it? No.
If Liverpool are going to challenge where Jurgen Klopp is primed to push them, they need a new keeper. Simple as.
