Liverpool and Manchester United tied 2-2 at Anfield in a pulsating Premier League match, where the away side fought back late to earn a deserved point.

Ruben Amorim has been struggling as Manchester United boss and his reaction to a wild 2-2 draw at Liverpool on Sunday said it all. He was very happy with the performance and so many of his players put in a spirited, focused and committed display. But he was angry he hasn’t seen it more often since he arrived a few months ago.

Amorim’s system means United are often outnumbered in the middle of the park against three-man midfields. Whatever partnership plays there needs the legs to cover space, laterally as well as up and down. Mainoo and Ugarte give United exactly that.
