Liverpool slumped to a 2-1 defeat Manchester United at Old Trafford today. Here are our Liverpool player ratings:

A hugely disappointing result for Liverpool against Manchester United at Old Trafford as they sunk to a 2-1 loss. United now have a five point gap over the Reds in the Premier League and we have not won in the last 8 league games against them.

There were four changes from the side that saw out a 0-0 draw against FC Porto on Tuesday. The first choice back four was restored with Andy Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk replacing Alberto Moreno, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip.

The big shock was that captain Jordan Henderson made way for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain while James Milner kept his place.

The first half was one of the worst of Liverpool’s season – on a par with the horror show against Spurs at Wembley in October. Two goals from Marcus Rashford who exposed Alexander-Arnold for the first while Lukaku bullied Dejan Lovren for two assists. An own goal from Eric Bailly gave Liveprool hope but they couldn’t create a clean cut chance for any of the forwards.

Liverpool Player Ratings: Defenders

18: Firmino keeps the ball alive down the left-flank before crossing to the far-post. The delivery is just too far for Mane to connect!

Substitutes

Adam Lallana- 5

Came on, did nothing. Need more pace and energy from subs when losing rather than guile.

Next: All of Rafa Benitez' Liverpool signings ranked!

Gini Wijnaldum- 5

Putting on Wijnaldum when you need a goal away from home? Yeah, not the bet plan.

Dominic Solanke- 6

Replaced Andy Robertson with five minutes to play but United had too many tall, strong players for him to exert any influence.
