Manchester United had their blushes spared with a late equaliser as they drew 1-1 with Liverpool at Old Trafford.
Starting XI
David De Gea: Made some good saves and looked confident, and couldn’t be faulted for the goal. 6
Antonio Valencia: Saw a lot more of the ball late on as United sought width, and ultimately got an assist. 7
Phil Jones: Did a good job of getting a hold of Liverpool and stopping their dangerous outlets. 7

Marcos Rojo: Looked tired towards the end after making a recovery in time to start, but did well similar to Jones. 6
Matteo Darmian: Offered very little going forward but did well defensively, marking an improvement on other performances this season. 6
Michael Carrick: Was fairly absent in the game, but bizarre substitution at half time nonetheless. 5
Ander Herrera: Pressed well, distributed well and provided tempo to an otherwise lethargic United performance at times. 8
Paul Pogba: Was totally overcome by the occasion. Missed an early chance, gave away a silly penalty and got drawn into physical battles that he mostly lost. 4
Anthony Martial: Coming up against an 18-year-old he should have done better (with all respect), and should have maybe been subbed earlier. Poor. 5
Hneirkh Mkhitaryan: Played on both sides and saw a good chance saved by Mignolet. Not his best performance though. 6
Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Had a very good free-kick well saved, and popped up with a crucial goal to stay in red hot form. 7
Substitutes
Wayne Rooney (for Carrick, 46′): Got on the ball plenty and provided intent. 6
Juan Mata (for Martial, 65′): Didn’t see a lot of the ball. 6
Fellaini (for Darmian 75):Â Actually gave United a real spark and was instrumental. 8
