Luke Shaw has admitted Manchester United’s performance in their 7-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday was ‘a disgrace’ as he shared his embarrassment at the thrashing and apologised to Red Devils fans.
The England international completed the full 90 minutes at Anfield as braces from Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Mohamed Salah as well as a late strike from substitute Roberto Firmino clinched the most emphatic of victories for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Just a week before their trip to Anfield, United had beaten Newcastle United in the League Cup final and there was talk of them challenging for a quadruple this season in the build-up to Sunday’s game. However, the heavy loss leaves them 14 points behind league-leaders Arsenal and nine points off second-placed Man City, while Liverpool are seven points behind the Red Devils after closing the gap on the top four.
