    Bruno Fernandes territory this...

    Marcus Rashford also looks keen.

    Man Utd 2-3 Liverpool

    England manager Gareth Southgate is watching on. Trent Alexander-Arnold has his best boots on for the occasion it seems.

    He has defending to do here though as Bruno Fernandes' cross smacks the arm of Thiago just outside the Liverpool box.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold plays another sublime pass over the top to Sadio Mane.

    He may have been offside but Dean Henderson rushes out and JUST gets to it first.

    Thomas Knights: As bad as United have been, Allison might be the worst player on the pitch today, his kicking has been woeful, not for the first time this season.

    Ashwin R: After a long time Rashford does something right. Now he’s showing more flashes of the Brazilian Ronaldo.

    Liverpool were cruising. Now it is 3-2 and Manchester United look like the team that will score next.

    Someone's flicked the switch. Man Utd have found their level again in the last few minutes.

    But Liverpool do break dangerously here... Thiago slips in Mohamed Salah but he flashes it over the bar.

    Jurgen Klopp is going to change things up now.

    Man Utd 2-3 Liverpool

    Marcus Rashford has now scored five goals in his last five games against Liverpool.

    That was also his 50th in all competitions at Old Trafford.

    Man Utd 2-3 Liverpool

    WOW.

    How have Liverpool kept this out? Luke Shaw gets in on the overlap down the left.

    His cut-back causes all kinds of problems. There's a shot saved by Alisson, Edinson Cavani has an effort blocked and Rhys Williams blocks another one a few yards off the line.

    Last-ditch, bodies-on-the-line defending from Liverpool!

    Bruno Fernandes lets it run, good first touch by Marcus Rashford, bit of a scuff on the finish but he doesn't care. In off the post and bottom corner.

    Manchester United have been so poor tonight but have an opportunity get back into this. Big time.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold skips past Paul Pogba in the middle and has a crack from the edge of the box but it's always rising.

    He'd fancy a goal today wouldn't he?

    Marcus Rashford

    And there it is!

    Edinson Cavani threads it through perfectly for Marcus Rashford and he pokes it past Alisson and squeezes it inside the right post.

    Game on.

    Man Utd 1-3 Liverpool

    Luke Shaw's corner is headed well away by Georginio Wijnaldum but Edinson Cavani does well to win another.

    Liverpool could have scored five but while it remains like this, United are still not quite out of it.

    Mohamed Salah, to Roberto Firmino, to Georginio Wijnaldum but his flick doesn't come off.

    Liverpool are in the mood that's for sure.

    Fred is off. On comes Mason Greenwood.

    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been reading the #bbcfootball comments, clearly.

    This is Liverpool of last season and the season before. Tonight they have worked their socks off. We were worried about the two centre-halves for Liverpool but they haven't been asked anything. They have strolled this game.

  20. CLOSE!published at 63 mins

    Man Utd 1-3 Liverpool

    Liverpool break again with numbers. Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah can't quite link up but it still comes over to Trent Alexander-Arnold.

    He strikes it with his left foot and it's parried by Dean Henderson. Fred just about gets there in front of Alexander-Arnold for the rebound.
