Marcus Rashford has explained what Manchester United did in response to the defeat to Liverpool.
The Reds claimed a historic 7-0 victory over their bitter rivals in the Premier League last week. It was Liverpool’s biggest win over Man United in their entire 131-year history.
Jurgen Klopp’s side received plenty of compliments for their performance against Man United on Sunday. Goal scorers Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah also got plenty of plaudits from pundits and fans.

For United it was a different story. Liverpool legends Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness led the criticism of the Red Devils, while also making plenty of headlines after a heated debate with fellow Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville.
Rashford scored for Man United on Thursday in their 4-1 win over Real Betis in the Europa League. The striker has explained how he and his team-mates responded to last week’s defeat to Liverpool and how they plan to make that continue.
"Good performance and a good win," Rashford told MUTV. "Four goals, so I'm pleased we can start the tie in the right way and obviously bounce back from the last game as well, so it's now about getting the momentum back that we had before Liverpool.
"We need to put that [momentum] back. I knew I was going to go high [with the first goal] and it's always nice to start the game well and with a goal. We definitely started the game well, we had an offside goal and a had a couple of chances.
"We started the second half well as well, with the two goals, and it's important to put us in a good place in the game. We had to stay calm, composed, as we felt like we were creating the chances and that's the difficult part.
"You have to put it in the net after that. It was a good performance and I'm really pleased with the win."
