Ex-Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has surprisingly praised Liverpool as ‘the better team’ after Monday’s defeat to his former club.
A lacklustre Reds side lost 2-1 at Old Trafford, with Mohamed Salah’s 81st-minute header not enough to turn the tide following cool finishes from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford either side of half-time. Jurgen Klopp’s men are now winless in their opening three games and have conceded first in all of them.
Erik Ten Hag’s team were an entirely different team from the one that lost 4-0 at Brentford, exploiting a woefully lackadaisical Liverpool defence and then defending resolutely against a blunt attack. But veteran German midfielder Schweinsteiger has shocked fans of his former club by claiming the Reds were actually better on the night due to having more possession.
