    United's forward line have Liverpool's defence on the ropes at the moment.

    United in again!

    Goalscorer Jadon Sancho feeds a cute ball through to Marcus Rashford on the edge of the box, the forward sets himself but a clipped effort is blocked by the sliding Joe Gomez.

    That was fully deserved for Manchester United. It was a slick move and they attacked very, very well.

    Elanga kept it alive on that left-hand side, the ball came right across and Sancho's composure was brilliant in the centre of the 18-yard box. He waited and checked back, sat Milner down and stroked the ball in to the corner.

    The move before that was all credit to United - but what a finish.

    Joseph: Liverpool haven’t got started this game let alone this season.

    Jacob: Milner fuming with VVD and rightly so, what was that defending? Don't dive in but at least try to engage.

    Saj: What was Van Dijk doing? His best Liam Gallagher impression?

    Now this man is dangerous.

    United will need to keep a watch of Luis Diaz, playing a one-two with Roberto Firmino, before curling wide.

    Not the same results as v Crystal Palace last week, tried bending it into the corner.

    Jadon Sancho

    Thoroughly deserved.

    United have been on top in the early exchanges and have taken the lead at Old Trafford.

    Anthony Elanga does well to pick out Jadon Sancho in the box and the Englishman has so much to do.

    But a stunning turn puts James Milner on his backside, Alisson has already dived, Virgil van Dijk stands like a statue and the former Dortmund man caresses a side-footed finish into the bottom corner.

    Erik ten Hag is out of his seat and the Theatre of Dreams can start to believe.

    United have work to do at the back for the first time and Raphael Varane does is very well, denying Roberto Firmino.

    Fernandes does so well, puts it right in to Elanga's path on the edge of the 18-yard box, who steps up with that right foot.

    He's got the whole goal to aim at and he puts it right in to the corner but hits the post - very unfortunate. He's got to score.

    It's been a brilliant start; the tempo's high, the tackles are strong from Manchester United. They have started really well in this game, with a couple of big opportunities.

    United are getting hope in behind, are they targeting Trent Alexander-Arnold?

    Anthony Elanga almost sneaks in again but this time the England international brings the ball clear confidently.

    Manchester United shoud be ahead. That was a great chance for Anthony Elanga.

    United have shown more aggression and intent in 10 minutes than they demonstrated in two games against Liverpool last season.

    Just how big will that miss prove to be because we know how United's heads can fall once they concede.

    That was such an important moment in this match.

    Dev: United have exceeded expectations,10 mins and have not conceded!

    Jon: Why does the Premier League insist on only using Monday nights for bottom-of-the-league scraps between a relegation contender and a low-mid-table side that can't buy a win?

    "Liverpool need to wake up," says Jamie Carragher on Sky Sports.

    They certainly do, United have been on top so far.

    United hit the post!!

    The home side's brilliant start almost pays dividends as Bruno Fernandes squeezes out a pass to Anthony Elanga in the box, through on goal, but the Swede side-foots his effort against the post.

    HAS to score.

    United already showing more fight?

    Diogo Dalot comes through the back of Luis Diaz on the halfway line.

    Erik ten Hag won't mind that, at least they're putting the tackles in.

    Marcus Rashford gets the wrong side of Trent Alexander-Arnold and is tripped by his fellow Englishman.

    United have a free-kick on the angle of the box towards the left.

    The home side have made a very good start.

    The sprightly James Milner turns inside of Lisandro Martinez in the box, but Raphael Varane is on the cover and nudge over the Englishman.

    The visitors ask for a penalty but nothing doing from Michael Oliver.
