Erik ten Hag, a Dutch professional football coach has secured his first win as Manchester United manager with a 2-1 victory against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Monday August 22, 2022.
The Red Devils started the brighter of the two sides and opened the scoring within the first 15 minutes as Jadon Sancho calmly swept the ball home.
Liverpool grew into the game and almost equalised just before the break but Lisandro Martinez cleared the ball off the line following James Miller’s header.
But it was United who doubled their advantage through Marcus Rashford, who showed great composure to slot past Alisson after being played through on goal by Anthony Martial.
Mohamed Salah pulled one back for Jurgen Klopp’s side but it was too little too late as the Reds suffered their first defeat of the season.
It was also learnt that thousands of fans took part in a protest against the club’s owners, the Glazers before the match.
