Elanga, who replaced Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting eleven, looked like a player possessed, constantly pressing Alexander-Arnold, who looked out of sorts, and winning the duels. Six minutes later, he turned provider to the Jadon Sancho opener. Now you see we bring the attitude. That United had not scored a goal off their own in nearly 190 minutes—the one against Brighton was an own goal—aptly reflected the toothlessness of their front-line. The full-backs—Tyrell Malacia, who had displaced the lacklustre Luke Shaw, and Diogo Dalot—too were exceptional in curbing the menace of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson. But the performance against Liverpool was as resolute a rearguard they had produced in recent times. A technically gifted centre-back, he contributed to the opening goal too, stealing the ball off Bobby Firmino and belting it upfield, besides his cool tackling and composure in duress. Often, Sancho has looked ponderous—this goal could change it. They lacked ingenuity, physicality and presence of mind. Once Casemiro takes McTominay’s place, Eriksen could be all the more influential a presence. So much so that they were a team unrecognisable from the shambles they were against Brentford last week. Manchester United were a team transformed against Liverpool.
