Man United 2-1 Liverpool LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today
Manchester United vs Liverpool - LIVE!
Manchester United produced an utterly unexpected 2-1 victory over old rivals Liverpool in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Monday following protests against their American owners and after their worst start to a season in over a century.
United's win for their first points of the campaign, thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, left Juergen Klopp's Liverpool without a victory from their opening three games and with just two points. Sancho put United ahead in the 16th minute, showing great composure as he collected a pull-back from Anthony Elanga, left James Milner on his backside and then slotted the ball into the bottom corner.
United extended their lead after the break. A mistake by Jordan Henderson allowed substitute Anthony Martial to send Rashford clear and the England forward kept his cool to slot past Alisson in the 53rd minute for his first league goal since January. Read back all the action below!

Manchester United FC 2 - 1 Liverpool FC
22:25 , Alex Young
Jamie Carragher fears the Premier League title may already be over for Liverpool after a humbling defeat at Manchester United.
Both teams headed to Old Trafford looking for their first win of the season at the third attempt, but it was United who looked in control from the first whistle. Goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford settled a deserved home win.
Liverpool were second best all over the pitch, with the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, James Milner and Roberto Firmino in particular struggling with the intensity.
The result leaves Liverpool in 16th, five points off Manchester City after just three games and Carragher feels such a gap can already be considered difficult to overhaul.
Sancho to Sky Sports
22:16 , Alex Young
It means a lot. Our first two games didn't go so well and had it turn it around today.
Last week hurt a lot and we knew we had to bounce back and tonight we showed the fans what we can do.
It means a lot to all of us, you can see how the fans are reacting. We got the three points but on to the next one.
Neville to Sky Sports
22:03 , Alex Young
This has to be a sign of what's to come, because what we've seen tonight, we haven't seen for 12 months.
Ten Hag has done something to the players, because I can't believe what I've just watched over the last 90 minutes. Liverpool are one of the great sides of recent seasons.
Full-time!
21:53 , Alex Young
96min: That’s it! A huge three points for United, who go above Liverpool in the table.
21:51 , Alex Young
94min: United are keeping Liverpool at arm’s length and then break, only for Van Dijk to wipe out Fred.
A frustrating night for the centre-back.
21:49 , Alex Young
91min: Martial almost gets around Alisson and tries to find Van de Beek in the area, but Liverpool hack it clear.
21:47 , Alex Young
89min: Liverpool are pushing hard here. There is set to be five added minutes.
21:44 , Alex Young
85min: Ronaldo is on, along with Van de Beek.
GOAL!
21:40 , Alex Young
81min: Game on!
Salah finishes well from close range to set up a nervy finale!
21:37 , Alex Young
80min: Into the final 10 minutes and United look very comfortable.
CHANCE!
21:34 , Alex Young
75min: Rashford skips past Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho and Gomez like they’re not there but cannot test Allison.
Carragher screams “embarrassing” on commentary.
21:28 , Alex Young
70min: Sancho makes way for Fred, with 20 minutes to play.
SAVE!
21:24 , Alex Young
67min: Fabinho header from a corner is saved down to his right by De Gea.
His first save?
21:22 , Alex Young
65min: A nice move between Alexander-Arnold, Firmino and Salah before the latter finds Elliott in the area, but he’s drifted offside.
21:18 , Alex Young
60min: Neville is enjoying himself. He’s just asked Carragher quietly on commentary: “You think you’ll stay up?”
21:16 , Alex Young
59min: Fabinho is coming on, replacing Henderson.
CHANCE!
21:14 , Alex Young
56min: Almost a third and it’s Rashford again! He uses a crowded penalty area to bend the ball towards the far post, but an unsighted Alisson does enough.
21:12 , Alex Young
56min: Old Trafford is absolutely pumping!
GOAL!
21:11 , Alex Young
54min: It’s two!
Rashford beats the offside trap to run through and slam the ball past Alisson!
21:06 , Alex Young
49min: Better from Alexander-Arnold, who strides down the left and has a pop at De Gea, but his shot it deflected up and eventually volley by Elliott which goes behind for a corner.
Salah volleys the delivery 30 yards over.
Second half
21:03 , Alex Young
46min: ...and we’re back under way.
21:02 , Alex Young
Elanga is the man making way. Looks like Liverpool are sticking with the same team.
21:00 , Alex Young
Well, there will be changes but it’s United making them. Martial is coming on at half-time.
20:56 , Alex Young
I wouldn’t be surprised if Klopp makes changes at the break. Milner springs to mind.
20:51 , Alex Young
A breathless opening 20 minutes saw Sancho gives the hosts a deserved lead.
Liverpool have since grown into it, but their defence is a shambles.
Half-time
20:47 , Alex Young
46min: That’s your lot.
20:45 , Alex Young
45min: Almost a mix-up between Van Dijk and Alisson allows Elanga in, but the goalkeeper eventually clears.
Their defence has been appalling tonight.
OFF THE LINE!
20:41 , Alex Young
42min: How did Liverpool not score?! Fernandes just booted the ball against Martinez from a yard out!
CHANCE!
20:40 , Alex Young
41min: Salah shapes to bend a shot into the far post but Martinez dives in for a crucial block.
20:38 , Alex Young
38min: Liverpool are pressing the United backline now and attempting to force errors. Varane has to succumb to giving away a throw in near his penalty area.
20:36 , Alex Young
36min: It’s calmed down slightly, with Liverpool getting a bit more of the ball. The crowd is a little quieter (it couldn’t get much louder, to be fair).
20:32 , Alex Young
32min: Alisson now puts Liverpool under pressure by booting a clearance straight into touch.
Nerves everywhere in this Liverpool team.
20:31 , Alex Young
31min: A great battle shaping up between Dalot and Diaz.
Dalot has the edge at the moment, winning a free kick and then blocking a shot.
20:29 , Alex Young
28min: Liverpool win the ball back in United’s final third but Firmino opts to scoop the ball over the defence and the move immediately breaks down.
Odd choice.
CHANCE!
20:26 , Alex Young
25min: Eriksen tries his luck with a free kick wide on the left. He bends it for the far corner and it’s bang on, but Alisson’s fingertips have other ideas.
Superb save, that.
20:22 , Alex Young
20min: Liverpool are really rattled. Klopp is shaking his head and Milner is bellowing at everyone.
GOAL!
20:17 , Alex Young
16min: Sancho has ice in his veins!
The coolest head in Old Trafford sends Milner to the shops with a dummy and slots past Alisson!
Fully deserved, too!
20:15 , Alex Young
14min: We haven’t seen a United performance like this in... I don’t know when.
Liverpool don’t know how to handle them!
20:12 , Alex Young
11min: It's fair to say that Alexander-Arnold has, er, not started well!
Tripped Rashford and nowhere to be seen for that Elanga chance.
POST!
20:10 , Alex Young
10min: Oh my!
Elanga simply had to score! The goal was gaping after Fernandes pokes the ball past Gomez, but he hits the far post!
20:08 , Alex Young
8min: Awful delivery, straight out of play on the far side.
20:07 , Alex Young
8min: Eriksen delivery hits the wall and spins behind for a corner...
20:07 , Alex Young
7min: Alexander-Arnold gets done by Rashford and reacts by tripped him up on the edge of the area...
20:06 , Alex Young
6min: Manchester United have come out really quick here. They are fired up, but it’s all a bit frantic.
Chance!
20:04 , Alex Young
3min: Well, half a chance.
Rashford looks to have a clear run at goal from around 35 yards out but Van Dijk eventually steps across to clear.
Kick-off!
20:03 , Alex Young
1min: We are under way!
19:56 , Alex Young
Here come the teams! We are minutes away.
Here’s Casemiro!
19:51 , Alex Young
Meanwhile, Manchester United have presented new signing Casemiro in front of fans at Old Trafford ahead of facing Liverpool in the Premier League.
The club have announced last week a deal worth an initial £60million, plus another £10m in add-ons, after reaching an agreement in principle with Real Madrid.
Casemiro completed a medical over the weekend before signing a four-year contract with the option of a further 12 months, understood to be worth around £375,000 a week.
19:49 , Alex Young
Liverpool fans inside Old Trafford are enjoying themselves.
They have been singing “Glazers in" and, remarkably, one set of supporters have mocked up a sign while others have made fliers with Malcolm Glazer's face on it.
Ronaldo ignores Carragher
19:41 , Alex Young
Doesn’t look like Cristiano Ronaldo was too interested in talking to Jamie Carragher!
The Liverpool man didn’t seem too bothered though.

Klopp to Sky Sports
19:36 , Alex Young
He’s in a good mood.
The team I like a lot. We have good options to change, the rest is young and exciting. We are in a good shape.
Now we are here and well prepared and let's go for it. I can't wait. We have problems but we have found solutions and hopefully they work tonight.
It feels extremely important because it is the start of the season and we don't want to wait until October until we are 100% in. It is very important.
19:23 , Alex Young
Meanwhile, there is quite the crowd marching towards the stadium in protest against the Glazers.
Ronaldo and Maguire are dropped
19:10 , Alex Young
So, Ten Hag makes four changes as Ronaldo, Maguire, Shaw and Fred are dropped.
In come Varane, Malacia, McTominay and Elanga.
It's three changes for Liverpool. Firmino, Henderson and Gomez for Nunez, Fabinho and Phillips.

Maguire and Ronaldo dropped??
18:47 , Alex Young
An early, unconfirmed team news leak has suggested Martial starts and both Ronaldo and Maguire have been dropped.
Confirmed XI to come at 7pm.
Keane on United
18:44 , Alex Young
Roy Keane, who has had a shape up at the barbers, has been speaking on Sky Sports.
They have to turn up and start better than the last couple of games. They need a huge performance and we've not seen that so far this season. They have not turned up.
Defensively they are all over the place. Erik ten Hag has got to make changes. This team needs to show some sort of personality and character but they don't seem to have it in them.
Protests latest
18:40 , Alex Young
A Manchester United supporter group called ‘The 1958’ have organised tonight’s protest, which is starting at the nearby Tollgate pub and heads to the stadium from 7pm.
As many as 10,000 are expected to join.
For the love.
For the passion.
For each other.
For past generations.
For the next generation.
For our United.
Today we make it count 🇾🇪
Tollgate 7pm we march. Form behind the 58 flag & new banner. pic.twitter.com/RKBGm11x2W— The 1958 (@The__1958) August 22, 2022
Martial has arrived
18:22 , Alex Young
Anthony Martial is with the squad tonight, along with Ronaldo, Maguire, De Gea, Fernandes, Martinez, McTominay, Varane, Fred, Eriksen, Elanga, Malacia, Wan-Bissaka, Dalot and Heaton off the bus.
Confirmed teams to come in just under 40 minutes.
18:12 , Alex Young
I’m sure these scarves will be selling like hot cakes tonight.
Score prediction
18:00 , Alex Young
A more cautious approach with the focus on counter-attacking could suit these United players, should Ten Hag opt to be cautious and attempt to bring some solidity to the side.
Liverpool have certainly not been at their best in the opening two games, but they created plenty of chances in both matches and should get plenty of joy against a United defence that has looked incredibly vulnerable.
Liverpool to win, 3-1.
17:53 , Alex Young
Manchester United will parade Casemiro in front of fans ahead of kick-off, along with Euro 2022 heroes Mary Earps, Ella Toone and Alessia Russo.
Liverpool team news: Firmino to start
17:41 , Alex Young
Joe Gomez and Roberto Firmino are expected to start tonight.
The Brazilian forward is now fit and should slot straight into the attack against crisis-stricken rivals United, with Gomez partnering Virgil van Dijk at centre-back in the continued absence of Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate.
Elsewhere, Naby Keita has trained fully at Kirkby in recent days, having missed the start of the season due to illness and been an unused substitute against Palace amid rumours that he wants to leave Liverpool. He could join Gomez and Firmino in being drafted into Klopp’s starting XI tonight.
Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones won’t face United but are getting closer to making their respective returns, while Thiago Alcantara, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Calvin Ramsay and Caoimhin Kelleher are also still sidelined.
Maguire to be dropped?
17:28 , Alex Young
Captain Harry Maguire would well miss out on a place in the starting XI tonight.
Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez are reportedly ahead of the club captain in Erik ten Hag’s thoughts after the 4-0 defeat to Brenftord, with Anthony Martial hopeful of starting up front.
The French forward impressed during pre-season alongside the likes of Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, only to suffer a hamstring injury on the eve of the new campaign, subsequently missing the humbling defeats by Brighton and Brentford.
Martial has joined the first-team squad in training ahead of tonight’s high-profile showdown with fierce rivals Liverpool, but centre-back Victor Lindelof remains out.

Official word of the signing is expected at half-time.
