Manchester United

Dissatisfaction with the Glazer family's ownership has some of the team's fans urging supporters to boycott Monday night's game.

The 1958, named after the year of a plane crash in Munich that killed nine United players, is one of the key groups leading the campaign to oust the American billionaires. They’re urging supporters to stop buying merchandise and official packages, use anti-Glazer hashtags as frequently as possible and damage the family’s business links. But this evening’s encounter in Manchester will be viewed as much for events off the field as on it.

Manchester United secured a first Premier League win of the Erik ten Hag era with a deserved 2-1 triumph over Liverpool at Old Trafford.

– Man United 2-1 Liverpool. – Man United 2-0 Liverpool. – Man United 1-0 Liverpool. 10’ – MAN UNITED CHANCE! 53’ – GOAL! 16’ – GOAL!

'The 1958' group led the demonstration on Monday night, where thousands of supporters marched towards Old Trafford.

The message on another flag read: ‘We want our club back’, while smoke from flares filled the air and there was plenty of anti-Glazer chanting. ‘United for $ale’ read a banner stretched across the front of the crowd that moved slowly and loudly towards Old Trafford, with more supporters joining en route. Supporters are at their wits’ end with the controversial owners, and recently-formed group ‘The 1958’ led the latest demonstration against the Americans before kick-off.

Goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford earn a precious win over arch-rivals Liverpool.

Liverpool pulled a goal back late on, as De Gea parried sub Fabio Carvalho’s effort into the path of Mo Salah who squeezed in a header to set the game up for a nervy finish. The England international kept his calm going one-v-one against Alisson to bury the ball into the back of the net. Despite relentless attacking from the opposition, United’s backline - especially Raphael Varane and Martinez - combined well to keep them at bay. Despite being faced with multiple defenders, Sancho showed great composure to deceive James Milner and finish beyond Alisson to fire the reds ahead. Anthony Elanga came close to opening the scoring inside 10 minutes.

The Brazil midfielder won five Champions Leagues and three La Liga titles with Real Madrid.

To represent United is an honour and I am ready to give everything to help the team achieve our ambitions.” I already spoke with the club as soon as the Champions League finished. After the holidays, with a clear head, the feeling was the same. “It is a start but they need some more, they need help. That’s not the case. It’s not for money.

Thousands marched to the match and anti-Glazer chants provided a constant backdrop to Monday’s match without detracting from their support of the team, who responded with a quality performance. It was a nervy conclusion but getting over the line underlined the turnaround in character and performance from last weekend’s loss at Brentford, as well as last season’s humiliations home and away to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.

Erik Ten Hag's men transformed at Old Trafford as Sancho and Rashford lead Red Devils to victory over their rivals.

From deep in their own territory Dalot headed to Sancho who relayed the ball to Martial. Henderson miscontrolled and Anthony Martial, on for Elanga at the break, steered the ball to Rashford. The answer was to hook Henderson for Fabinho. Liverpool were in the ascendancy but lacked quality, a wild Salah volley emblematic of their problems. So far so good for United, a pattern that continued when the effervescent Elanga turned Alexander-Arnold and drew a foul. Next, Rashford barged aside Trent Alexander-Arnold, the defender impeded him, and Christian Eriksen’s free-kick, taken on the edge of the area, earned a corner.

I already spoke with the club as soon as the Champions League finished. I feel I’m really fit, mentally I feel great, and I want to continue to enjoy. United have reached an agreement with Real Madrid to sign the 30-year-old Brazil international subject to a medical and a visa being granted.

"I wanted a different approach and a different attitude and that is what they brought on the pitch. "They were really aggressive in the beginning, it was absolutely clear what would happen. "Maybe they were [sharper], that's not right of course but when we calmed down we were there. Nowadays it's a demand and that is what you saw. "It is not always about what I said. I don't know what it is but I cannot believe what I have witnessed. Make sure you are a team and battle and be brave. "The major disappointment is that they've only scored one goal." "Every time United went forward in that first half they looked like they were going to score. I didn't think it was possible tonight what I saw; I thought the players had cemented what they do, week-in, week-out over many months at the end of last season and the start of this season." "There was communication, fight spiriting and then you can see what they can achieve. They had rattled their visitors even before Sancho was given time to turn onto his left foot in the box and fire past an unsighted Alisson (16), and David de Gea did not have a save to make before the break.

Read a summary of Jürgen Klopp's post-match press conference after Liverpool's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Monday night.

Obviously we were not good enough to win the game but I think we all know that if we score here in any situations an equaliser, it would not have been the biggest surprise in the world, so it's a deserved draw after a start where United looked sharper than us – but that was not too long and in the situation I think a little bit to expect. We could start with two if we would have more attackers but we have only three attackers, so it means we start with three and then we change during the game and it's like how we want to start. It's not perfect but good enough to play better tonight, and I think our situation is good enough that we could've won the game tonight if we would have played slightly better. Look, we can talk about all the things but in the end I saw tonight a game. And how we want to change, we have to think before the game and that's the only reason for it. No, we have in the moment five senior midfielders and we have to start with three. It was 2-1 because time ran out because and we had not the clear-cut chances in the last two or three minutes anymore because the watch just ran down without real football because of different situations. Against so many legs in the defence, it is not easy to create now every 20 seconds a new chance, but we had a lot of moments in the box. I realise now, I didn’t even see it, but I think it [the question] is about an argument on the pitch or whatever, shouting at each other and these kind of things. No, it is a game where everything was clear, everything was on the table. In the beginning there, it was wild, up and down and these kind of things and they had their chance when they hit the post. It was exactly the game United wanted to play and you can say that is our fault if you want.

Cheers for the new signing before victory over Liverpool were drowned out by chants of 'We want Glazers out'

Fernandes was prominent throughout, looking to release Marcus Rashford behind an uncertain Liverpool defence at the earliest opportunity and revelling in the space between Klopp’s midfield and central defence. Liverpool could have over-ran United’s central midfield of Eriksen and Scott McTominay with an extra man and Roberto Firmino regularly dropping into the hole between them. At least Casemiro will have been encouraged by the intensity and flashes of quality that underpinned his new club’s win over Jürgen Klopp’s side. United have committed to spend an eye-watering total of £142.8m on the 30-year-old — a fee rising to £70m plus a four-year contract worth £350,000-a-week — and the sums involved in luring the midfielder from a glittering nine-year career at the Bernabeu signal the desperation at Old Trafford. Their merited victory rounded off a hectic and head-spinning day for Casemiro who, having bid a tearful farewell to Real Madrid in the morning, arrived at Old Trafford several hours before kick off to take in his new environment. United’s first win of the season at least dragged attention back to where it should always be.

The Manchester United manager said after his team's 2-1 win: 'It's all about attitude. You can see what they can achieve'

“We have no issue,” he said. We have good players, but now we can be a team.” “Casemiro, Varane and Ronaldo have won trophies and will guide the younger players, I hope their presence will be a huge stimulation to the rest.

Erik ten Hag got the big decisions right in Manchester Uniteds dramatic 2-1 win against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Monday evening.

There were a tense finish as the home crowd willed for the whistle but what was striking was the desire and togetherness of the players. This needs to be the standard now not just a reaction to the visit of their rivals or a gathering crisis. Even Klopp admitted that created a "special atmosphere" inside Old Trafford and the fact that it was Marcus Rashford who scored what turned out to be the winning goal for United was fitting. "Nowadays it is a demand and that is what you saw. It makes me happy that Rashford and Sancho scored the goals." It was exactly the game that United wanted to play. In the beginning, it was wild. There were protests against the ownership but the support for the players was steadfast. The calmest man in Manchester when sending James Milner and Alisson for a hot dog on Sir Matt Busby Way for the opening goal. Right from the start, this was a different United. "It does not mean anything for the future," said Ten Hag beforehand. Few would be shocked that this was the outcome of events at Old Trafford on Monday evening.

Jamie Carragher has described Liverpool's performance in their 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford as "embarrassing" and "shocking".

"That can't be a one-off. I didn't think Manchester United were capable. I don't know what it is but I cannot believe what I have witnessed. "I don't know what's happened this week on the training ground, but they've responded. "The fight, spirit and energy from Manchester United was brilliant. "Liverpool were absolutely shocking defensively.
