Liverpool vs Man Utd player ratings: Clyne shine and Fabinho masterclass

8.5. Sadio Mane is a pure finisher, and made it known to everyone at Anfield, and to those watching the game at home. His goal was a work of art as he chested down a perfect chip pass onto his foot to slide it past De Gea in a smooth motion. Not many players could do that. The Senegalese winger also help set up Shaqiri’s first goal by sitting Herrara on his behind and playing a ball into goal that eventually came trickling back out to our Swiss star. For all Anfield fans, it was good to see Sadio break his scoring duck.. Forward. Liverpool. SADIO MANE

As always, Roberto Firmino did the little things that helped Liverpool win the game. His tracking back, build up play, and trickery was on point. The Brazilian did get a few looks on net as well, but was unlucky to not score on the day. The Bobby Dazzler had one sequence where he seemed to keep the ball away from about four United defenders and still get a shot away on De Gea. World class.. Forward. Liverpool. ROBERTO FIRMINO. 8

Honestly, after the last two performances by Mo Salah, it was going to be hard to match his own expectations for today’s match. The Egpytian was much quieter, however he did cause trouble for the United defense by just getting himself into the right position. Mo had a couple of curlers as well but did not really get behind them enough to challenge De Gea.. Forward. Liverpool. MO SALAH. 7
