Rooney whipped in a left-wing cross, Reina came for it and missed the ball, allowing Wes Brown to convert.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rafael Benitez was incensed when Javier Mascherano talked himself into an early bath before half-time, affecting Liverpool&#8217;s chances of launching a comeback. Another Reina error then allowed Ronaldo to head home from a corner, with Nani smashing in from 20 yards to seal it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manchester United 2-4 Liverpool, Premier League, May 13 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9-AFbA99Ebs\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9-AFbA99Ebs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A little over a year ago saw Liverpool win at Old Trafford in a six-goal thriller. The Reds had endured a difficult defence of their long-awaited Premier League title, but Jurgen Klopp&#8217;s side were putting together an improved run of form to qualify for the Champions League again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Protests against United&#8217;s unpopular owners, the Glazer family, had led to a postponement of the initial fixture. When the rescheduled game got under way, United took an early lead thanks to the stand-in centre-back Nat Phillips deflecting a Bruno Fernandes effort into his own net.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The lead was short-lived for United. Diogo Jota equalised and Roberto Firmino nodded in to make it 2-1, with the Brazilian then extending Liverpool&#8217;s advantage not long after the restart.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jota hit the woodwork and Marcus Rashford scored his 50th Old Trafford goal to spark hope of a famous fightback, but Liverpool had the last say when Mohamed Salah scored late on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manchester United 0-5 Liverpool, Premier League, October 24 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nLxmuh6wCVY&amp;ab_channel=LiverpoolFC\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nLxmuh6wCVY&amp;ab_channel=LiverpoolFC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Losing 4-0 at Brentford has been described as a historic low for United, but last season&#8217;s visit of Liverpool saw the Red Devils suffer one of the most embarrassing results in the club&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Salah slipped in Naby Keita to open the scoring in just the fifth minute and it was soon 2-0 when Jota slid in at the back post to turn home a low right-wing cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Keita turned provider for Salah to make it 3-0 as the floodgates were forced open, then the Egyptian king made it 4-0 with a smart low finish to ensure it was a rout before half-time.
