Red Monday turned out to be somewhat of a damp squib, as Liverpool and Manchester United played out a scoreless draw at Anfield.

It was certainly an effective performance from United, who came out of the blocks in the first-half and pressed Liverpool high up the pitch, nullifying their usual game and frustrating Jürgen Klopp’s side.

However, as United sat deeper and deeper as the game wore on, Liverpool came forward and José Mourinho’s side will be indebted to David de Gea’s saves to deny Emre Can and Philippe Coutinho a winner for the Reds.

United did have a chance of their own to snatch the win in the second half, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic scuffing his header badly wide after Paul Pogba’s far post cross from the right-hand side.

Although Mourinho will be happy with his side’s performance, the result does United no favours, as they continue to sit seventh in the Premier League table after the draw, and a win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Mourinho’s return to his former club is now crucial if the Red Devils are to keep pace with the top of the table.
