Analysis: The Reds' problems are laid bare again

Liverpool and boss Arne Slot can point to their injury problems - and they were far from full strength here - but there can be no excuses for their feeble first-half display, which left them two goals behind and with a mountain to climb. Slot has spoken so often about the importance of the first goal in a game, yet for the 21st time in 54 matches this season Liverpool conceded the opener. Manchester United were guilty of gifting the visitors - but Liverpool, lacking a centre-forward after Alexander Isak was ruled out with a minor groin injury, were still clinical.
