Liverpool missed the chance to return to the top of the Premier League table as Manchester United frustrated their rivals at Anfield to earn a battling point for under-pressure manager Erik ten Hag.
The Reds dominated possession but were sloppy on the ball in what was a poor contest, with Trent Alexander-Arnold going closest with a shot from outside the box that narrowly crept wide of the post.
United defended deep and grew in threat as the match went on, with Rasmus Hojlund forces a save from Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson in the second half. Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana was far busier but wasn’t seriously tested despite a series of effort from the hosts. United’s Diogo Dalot was sent off in stoppage time for dissent towards referee Michael Oliver.
Liverpool started the weekend top but slip down to third following wins for Arsenal and Aston Villa on Sunday. United, who drew a Premier League game for the first time this season, are seventh but avoided a third straight defeat after losses against Bournemouth and Bayern Munich this week.

Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United
33 mins: Liverpool have had the territory, with 46 per cent of the action played in the Manchester United third over the last 15 minutes. But they’ve struggled to create much - it has to be said - and the home crowd are growing a bit restless.
Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United
28 mins: SAVE! The first big chance of the game as Van Dijk rises highest from a corner to thump a header on target. It’s straight at Onana but still requires a smart, reflex save from the United keeper to tip it over the bar.

21 mins: We’re nearly at the halfway stage of this half and United must be very happy with how things are. They’ve been under the cosh but it’s still 0-0 and they’ve somewhat silenced this home crowd.
Nunez is the first into the book after a blatant shoulder barge on Evans.
