Manchester United's hammering at Anfield has been described as "out of character" by Gary Neville - but the evidence suggests it is part of their make-up.
The Red Devils have earned huge plaudits in recent months and that peaked when they won the Carabao Cup last weekend - their first trophy for six years. However they were dealt a harsh reality check by arch rivals Liverpool, who it seven past them on Sunday.
It is their heaviest ever defeat and means any faint hopes they had of challenging for the title are all but over. It also exposed United's flaws when it comes to playing their nearest rivals on the road, with their away record leaving a lot to be desired.
