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.

18 mins: A first real sighting of goal for Salah in this game but his curled effort is blocked well by Shaw as United defend yet another corner. That’s six already.

16 mins: That’s much better from Trent. Liverpool turn the ball over high up the pitch and Alexander-Arnold’s clipped cross finds Nunez at the far post. The Uruguayan directs it back across goal but Diaz fumbles his lines and can’t force the ball home. United, in the end, clear it behind.

Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United

15 mins: The ball finds Alexander-Arnold out on the right but his overhit cross flies out for a goal-kick. It’s been a quiet start for the England right-back and it’s a slightly subdued atmosphere inside Anfield at the minute.

11 mins: Forward Liverpool come now but it’s a similar result for Szoboszlai’s effort on the edge of United’s box as the ball flies into the stands off the Hungarian midfielder’s boot.

9 mins: It’s still all Liverpool so far who have had 77 per cent possession. United’s makeshift midfield three have struggled to get on the ball at all in these first ten minutes.

5 mins: The ball falls to Salah at the back post from the corner and the Egyptian tries to loop it back to the other post. Nunez slides it but the ball is overhit and drifts out for a goal-kick.

2 mins: It’s all Liverpool in the early periods as a free-kick from the right almost breaks free inside the box. Amrabat gets it clear on this occasion.
