Manchester United vs Liverpool has always been an entertaining contest. If the match had lost its sheen in the last couple of years, no one informed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, as the Red Devils were at Liverpool's throat from the get-go. Liverpool were constantly overrun in midfield after the Man United manager opted to field a 3-5-2 formation in a move that was designed to suffocate Liverpool's marauding fullbacks. Marcus Rashford gave the hosts the lead, after a delightful ball in from new signing Daniel James. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was left fuming at United's opener after what seemed like a foul on Divock Origi from Victor Lindelof's challenge in the build-up to the goal.

Premier Leauge Manchester United vs Liverpool: Rashford comes to the fore

Marcus Rashford enjoyed arguably his best game of the season so far, with the England international a constant threat across Liverpool's backline. There was a moment in the first half wherein Rashford turned and left Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk on the ground. Naturally, Manchester United fans on Twitter went crazy, with the Red Devils supporters claiming that their young forward left the Liverpool centre-back tasting dust on the 20-minute mark at Old Trafford. The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) was another debatable point from the game, as VAR adjudged that Lindelof's challenge on Divock Origi was not a clear foul. VAR then ruled out Sadio Mane's equaliser, as the ball had struck the Senegalese on the arm before he hit the back of David de Gea's net. Here are the Twitter reactions from the game.
