Dominik Szoboszlai's reaction
We showed properly who we are in the second half. We shouldn’t be happy at all with the first half.
[On becoming one of the team’s leaders] We have a lot of players who can set the example. I try to be one of them and if it works I’m happy.
I don’t focus on next season, I focus on the next three games. We want to play Champions League football, then we will see what happens in the future. Hopefully this team can stay together as much as possible.
On 75 minutes up stepped Kobbie Mainoo with the coolest of winners before the Stretford End to cause bedlam among home fans and wrest the bragging rights Manchester United’s way.
After a raid down the left Alexis Mac Allister’s weak clearance rolled to the midfielder who beat Dominik Szoboszlai to punch home a finish that bested Freddie Woodman to the Liverpool goalkeeper’s right.
After ceding a 2-0 half-time lead this ensured a league double over the visitors for a first time in a decade. Yet zoom out, and as United and Liverpool are not in the title race this meeting of England’s heavyweights was akin to two follicly-challenged men fighting over a comb.
