Football LIVE - Liverpool vs Man Utd reaction, Arsenal stars hailed (Daily Express)

Express Sport provides LIVE coverage of the latest football news after a busy weekend of Premier League action.

The lads put in an awful lot of work, and you suffer to an incredible strike from the edge of the box with maybe two or three kicks of the game left.” The 28-year-old captained United in the absence of Harry Maguire, as he has done on multiple occasions this season, but his display of leadership left a lot to be desired. [Erik ten Hag](/latest/erik-ten-hag) slammed his 'unprofessional' players for a woeful second-half display as the devastating Reds frontline put them to the sword, with Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez all bagging braces for [Jurgen Klopp's](/latest/jurgen-klopp) men.

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has admitted that the Red Devils 7-0 loss to Liverpool was a ‘disaster’ as he reached out to fans in the aftermath of the humiliation. "We have a duty to this club, a responsibility to represent the badge but we have many opportunities to look ahead, many games coming fast and we have to lock our focus on these.” Elsewhere in London, Chelsea are set to begin a summer clear-out after Todd Boehly issued an ultimatum to the players and Tottem head coach Antonio Conte faces an uncertain future at the club after their latest defeat.

Man City boss Pep Guardiola's prediction came true in Liverpool FC ... (Manchester Evening News)

Man United were thrashed 7-0 by Liverpool in their Premier League clash at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.

Liverpool were 1-0 up at half-time, but in truth, it was the Reds who had arguably been the better of the two sides. There's something about it that you will find in no other stadium in the world. "I thought they'd [Barcelona] score a goal at Anfield, and I am sure the players knew that Anfield is Anfield," he told Catalonian publication Ara. Evidently, the Reds are not the first team in history to turn up to Anfield and lose heavily. He can actually draw on his own experience of being on the end of a heavy defeat under the lights at Anfield. Therefore, the 7-0 thrashing at the hands of Jurgen Klopp's side came as a major shock to the system for all involved with United.

And so I think we were in the game." "If it was more often of course, then it is a pattern," Ten Hag said of the embarrassment at Anfield. A couple of players were having a bad day but look at this (defending from Shaw). We have to give ourselves time to get in the right position and then Cody realised in time, super finish. Liverpool were 1-0 up at half-time, but in truth, it was the Reds who had arguably been the better of the two sides. “The players will be embarrassed, they’ll no doubt be ashamed of their performance. ‘Weghorst is in the team to be a defender, really. Liverpool have beaten United 7-0, 4-0 and 5-0 in three of their last four meetings. United's second-half showing was nothing short of embarrassing and they will be desperate to get back to winning ways at the first available opportunity against Real Betis in the Europa League on Thursday evening. "But quality-wise as well you’ve got to have a certain level of quality to play for Man United… Cody Gakpo had given Liverpool a 1-0 half-time lead, but United, at the stage, were still in the contest after a respectable first-half showing. They remain third in the table, 14 points behind leaders Arsenal and nine short of Manchester City in second.

United are not in isolation of being swallowed and spat out at the ground - ask Barcelona and peak Manchester City. In seven minutes, the League Cup winners went from being right in the game to inviting a 7-0 rinsing. The game was there to be won, and Ten Hag was convincing his players they could be the winners. Ten Hag was "alarmed" by United's surrender after the interval, particularly given the positive team talk at half-time. Ten Hag will not allow the tired United narrative to take hold. For the manager, there were zero words that could calm the reality that having been competitive for 43 minutes, United threw in the towel with just '50 up on the clock.

After the loss to Brentford, Ten Hag ordered his players to come in the next day and run 8.5 miles (about 13.5 kilometres) during a British heatwave in August. But the loss to Liverpool doesn’t greatly change United’s season. That may no longer be the case with a title challenge now likely beyond them after falling 14 points behind Premier League leader Arsenal, but Ten Hag will hope for another rousing response from his players to ensure a season that is still full of promise does not unravel. On both occasions, Ten Hag got the desired effect. Then there was the 6-3 loss to Manchester City in October, which led him to question his players’ bravery. Liverpool didn’t win again in the Premier League until Oct.

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has indicated why Bruno Fernandes was not sent off during Liverpool vs Manchester United.

"His [Madley's] challenge, if you watch the game, he actually spoke to Fernandes quietly. The assistant then stepped in to prevent escalation. He explained: "I have mixed feelings about it. "I don't condone it, and I think the referee is in a difficult position, because if he goes across and makes an issue of it, Fernandes is likely to say, 'Well, he grabbed hold of me first'." The 28-year-old captained the side with Harry Maguire on the bench, but it was certainly a day to forget for Fernandes at Anfield. He did put his hands on Fernandes, with the midfielder then pushing him in the back as he returned to the pitch.
