There have been many lows for Manchester United this season, but Tuesday night’s 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool saw the team plummet to new depths.
United were completely outclassed by their rivals at Anfield. Ralf Rangnick did not hold back, describing the defeat as "embarrassing, disappointing, humiliating" . Having been thrashed 5-0 at Old Trafford in October, United have now conceded nine goals without reply against Jurgen Klopp’s side this season.
As bad as the loss was, it was not unexpected. As former United player Gary Neville put on Sky Sports’ coverage of the game, they “got what everyone in the country expected”. For those that watched one-sided match on television in the UK, Neville’s exasperated and angry co-commentary provided an inescapable soundtrack. For many United supporters he summed up the new low.
