Liverpool's "big revelation" shows way forward in future without Roberto Firmino

If Liverpool fans needed an introduction to how life could be without Roberto Firmino, they got their wish and the perfect example after the Reds' produced a scintillating performance against Manchester United.

The Brazilian is expected to leave Liverpool at the end of his contract in June after eight years at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp confirmed the news in his post-United interview with Firmino now set to move on, having scored 108 goals in 354 appearances during his time at the club so far, winning four major trophies.

Although Firmino has been key part of Liverpool's success over the past decade, he has played a sparring role in recent weeks following the arrival of Cody Gakpo.
