Gary Lineker has delivered a painful comparison between Manchester United and their arch rivals Liverpool after witnessing an Anfield demolition job on Tuesday night. United were well and truly put to the sword through goals from Luis Diaz, Sadio Mane and a Mo Salah brace in their 4-0 defeat.
Despite reviving their top-four dreams by beating Norwich on Saturday, United made the short trip across the M62 in hope more than expectation. However, an already daunting task became impossible when Diaz and Salah put the hosts two up with only 22 minutes on the clock.
United also lost Paul Pogba to injury after being without six players — including Cristiano Ronaldo — for the Tuesday night showdown. It proved to be an alarming result which has, once again, dampened a push for Champions League qualification amid the ongoing battle with Arsenal and Tottenham.
