Liverpool and Manchester United, one of the two greatest clubs in Britain continued their rivalry tonight as they played out an entertaining match in the Europa League round of 16.
Van Gaal put faith in the young trio of Depay, Martial and Rashford to lead the line, while Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool coach started with Sturridge and Firmino as his focal point in attack.

Liverpool after scoring romped up more
pressure on Man U, the United defenders looked confused and agitated as
Liverpool's attackers held more of the ball and they had goalkeeper
David De Gea to thank for making a quick fire save that would have
resulted in another goal for the home team.
Liverpool had
73% possession against Man U with 15 minutes of the first half to go, a
first for any team against Man U this season, such was their swagger on
the ball. Firminio, Lallana and Sturridge were controlling game play and
De Gea had to make string of saves for Man U, but Liverpool were still
in the ascendancy as half time approached.
Man U began
the second half with pace, panache and perseverance on the ball but had
no end product o how for all their ball control and tactical game-play.
Jurgen
Klopp introduced Joe Allen for Daniel Sturridge with less than 30
minutes of normal time to go , hoping to get some stability on their
midfield line which was now being hung out to dry by a reinvigorated
Manchester side.
A quick counter from Liverpool
resulted in a goal by Firmino after a mistake from Carrick resulted in
the Brazilian being clear on goal to slot in. 2-0.
Man U
knowing now they needed an away goal quickly, still fumbled and made a
lot of incomplete forward passes much to the dismay of Man U fans in the
away end of the stadium.
Bastian Schweinsteiger, a
champions league and World Cup winner was introduced into the game with
15 minutes to go, with United still trailing by two goals.
Man U are losers...😜😜😁
