Manchester United's 7-0 humiliation at Liverpool was a useful wake-up call - and the defeat also exposed some 'fundamental truths' in the Red Devils camp, it has been claimed.
Erik ten Hag's side were hammered at Anfield on Sunday courtesy of a brace each from Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah, while Roberto Firmino also struck for the Reds. It proved to be United's joint-heaviest ever defeat in their history.
The day after the game, the United squad arrived at Carrington at 9am and Ten Hag made his players analyse the mistakes again. He also allowed everyone to air their views and what they thought went wrong on Merseyside.
