Manchester United conceded 5-0 defeat against Liverpool FC: humiliated and torn to pieces

What happened on Sunday what had been indicated for a long time. Manchester United is nothing more than a fragile entity that manages to win games against weaker teams and sometimes make a big comeback, like the 3-2 win during the week in the Champions League against Atalanta Bergamo. –

But the Red Devils can’t keep up with the top teams. “I’m curious what Manchester looks like when they play against Liverpool like that. It won’t go well,” said Paul Scholes, like Neville and Ferdinand very successful United players, already predicted after the Bergamo game. How true.

The team’s appearance against Liverpool stunned even the so down-to-earth coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. “It’s one of the darkest days since I’ve coached here. We weren’t good enough individually and as a team. We lost 6-1 to Tottenham last season. But that was worse. Much worse. I feel very bad”, he said.

However, Solskjaer is not thinking of resigning. “I’ve already gone too far with the boys to give it all up now. We’ll continue together and see where it leads,” said the Norwegian.

Bad actions of frustration by Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Pogba

Meanwhile, Neville assesses the situation for Solskjaer as “unbearable”. “The pressure on Ole is unbearable. This game was a brutal disgrace. The management emphasizes again and again that Ole is firmly in the saddle, no matter what. Such results make it absurd,” said Neville.

In addition to the indisputable performance as a team, the superstars also suffered from blatant unrest against Liverpool. At the end of the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo kicked Curtis Jones, who was lying on the ground, several kicks in the fight for the ball – an act of frustration for which Ronaldo saw dark yellow (45th).

The Portuguese then received the receipt from angry Liverpool players, especially Virgil van Dijk. The pack formation was difficult to break up again – when the ball ran again, Liverpool gave the most suitable answer with the 4-0 through Mohamed Salah (45th + 5).

Paul Pogba’s action was even more stupid and brutal. The Frenchman was only brought on in the second half, but had to go down again after 15 minutes with red – after a bad kick with an outstretched leg against Naby Keita.

A scene that really pissed Scholes off. The United legend really drove Pogba against the wall.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if we won’t see Paul on the pitch in the United shirt as long as Ole remains manager. Paul has had so many opportunities. Every United manager has trusted him. But he tramples that trust with his feet. What he did today is stupid and disrespectful to the manager and his teammates. Would any United fan miss anything if Paul were no longer there? I think not, “said Scholes.

Small sounds from the Manchester United team

On the other hand, the team made very faint tones. Harry Maguire apologized to the fans: “That was far from what we can expect of them as a team. We didn’t represent the colors of the club properly. But we won’t tear each other apart now. Every player should think about his own Think about performance and do it a lot better next time. “

However, it is very unlikely that this will happen anytime soon. Manchester United plays far too capricious football for that. Break-ins such as against Bergamo and Liverpool in the first half are even increasing.

And given the schedule for the next two weeks, every Manchester United fan must be scared and afraid. The opponents? Tottenham (League), Bergamo (CL) and Manchester City (League).
