Liverpool vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result and reaction after Diogo Dalot red card late on

Virgin van Dijk speaking to Sky Sports after the game: “If you see how we played the game, we had most of the ball and created some opportunities. There was only one team trying to win the game.

“We want to win every game of course and that is why it is frustrating. Sometimes we shot too early and could have passed on the overlap. The right decision was sometimes lacking.

“We carry on of course but it is frustrating because we were superior in all aspects. In the end, they are buzzing with a point and we are disappointed with a point.

On United’s approach: “Obviously they are not in the best phase. Coming here they are wary of the threat we have but we have to look at ourselves - we should have won it today and that’s the disappointing thing.

“But we have big games coming up so we can’t dwell on it too long. We have to learn from certain situations and I know we will.”

McTominay on the importance of the result: “It’s been extremely difficult recently; I think everyone knows that. The pressure at this club is massive and it takes balls to come out and play for this club relentlessly every week. There’s no shying away and that’s what everyone in that dressing room wants to do.

“The ones who are injured are desperate to come back and play a part in that which is the most pleasing. We can build on this.

“We’re behind the manager - that’s first and foremost - and here to perform for this club. He’s a great manager that can lead us to great things and I believe this can be a building block.”

More from McTominay: “It’s always a hot start when you come here - we know that from the numerous times we’ve been here. Obviously, we couldn’t forget about last year and how that game went but the boys did everything today that they possibly could have. We’ve got a lot of young players coming into the squad and they conducted themselves amazingly well. I’m proud to have led them out there today.

On being made captain today: It’s the biggest honour of my career - there’s not much more I can say. I’ve been a young boy here; I know the system, the process coming through and I’m thankful to be in this position and I want more.

“I’ve got a clear mind and I do my best whenever I go out on the pitch with no excuses. I don’t really care what anyone else says or thinks about me; I just want to play well for this club and that’s final.”

Scott McTominay speaking to Sky Sports after the game: “We’ve got a number of injuries which doesn’t help the squad and we knew it was going to be tough coming here today. We had to stay calm and stay together and we had moments in the game where we had chances and could have hurt them.

“We are a little disappointed that we couldn’t come here and nick it and make it more of a game but I’m sure the boys will be pleased to not lose the game but definitely not happy that we didn’t win.”

Neither side could find the breakthrough but some vastly contrasting shot totals at the end of the game.

Liverpool produced 34 efforts - their highest total in a single match in the English Premier League this season - while United could only muster six, their lowest total of the season so far.

Well, no goals to talk about but let’s take a look at some of the game’s better chances in that second half:

Alexander-Arnold fired wide from distance...

Before Hojlund saw a good effort saved by Alisson...

And Diaz had a late effort smothered by the United defence...

A bore draw on Merseyside.

United do enough to see out the final stages as the full-time whistle goes. Not one that will live long in the memory but a vital point for Ten Hag and his side away from home.

Liverpool, meanwhile, drop to third after wins for Arsenal and Aston Villa. The hosts were toothless for large parts of the game with only Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold creating any chances of real note.

A muted response from the fans in the ground at full-time - certainly not the performance or result many of them were hoping for.

90+4 mins: RED CARD! Dalot is fuming after a throw-in is given against him. He’s fuming at the referee and is shown an initial yellow card, only to be booked again moments later for continued dissent.

United are down to ten men for the closing stages.

90+3 mins: Rashford and Shaw combine well down the left, but the former’s low cross is cleared away well by Alisson with Hojlund looking to pounce.
