It will be a sigh of relief for the Red Devils, who were facing troubles both on and off the field. First, the club lost to Brighton 2-1 then went down 4-0 against Brentford. Jadon Sancho scored an early goal for United and they kept the lead in the first half. Marcus Rashford extended the lead with a comfortable goal in the 53rd minute. Mohammad Salah scored the only goal for Liverpool as they went down 2-1 after full-time.
