Summary: Liverpool - Manchester United 0:7 (Sport1)
Scandal would be an understatement to describe Manchester United's performance at Anfield tonight (Sunday).
Just when they are in a good time and after breaking a six-year drought without a title, the Red Devils suffered a heavy blow at Anfield and were defeated 7:0 by bitter rivals Liverpool.
The first half was still reasonable and ended 0:1 to the host thanks to a goal by Cody Gakpo before the break, but in the second half the team of Eric Ten Haag completely disintegrated and conceded six times.
United's loss was their heaviest ever in an official fixture, along with losses by the same score in 1926, 1930 and 1931.
Another embarrassing statistic for United is that the last 15 goals scored in meetings between the teams at Anfield have been by the hosts.
"Manchester United is being torn to shreds," said "Sky" broadcaster Martin Tyler during the humiliation.
The club's former player and current commentator Gary Neville added: "I'm shocked, there are so many experienced players on the pitch, but they looked like children at school. They didn't know how dangerous it was to come to Anfield, they were killed while they were still alive."
Ten Brother concludes a humiliating evening
"The second half was simply unprofessional from our point of view, it must not happen," said the angry Eric Ten Haah, who suffered the biggest loss in his coaching career, "we have to talk about it. It is allowed to lose games, but not like this. This is not Manchester United. This Not just one or two players, but the whole team. We saw 11 players lose their heads and not follow the game plan. We disappointed the fans, and that's what angers me the most. We have to start over, we've recovered before, and we'll do it again."
Luke Shaw concluded by saying: "It won't be easy to see this game again, but Eric is going to force us... He will try to show us what we need to learn from this shame. I'm ashamed for the fans and people who watched us, all I can do is apologize. It's hard To explain it, it's not even close to the bar we set for ourselves."
Bruno Fernandes added: "It's very frustrating, disappointing, sad, it's a very bad result. The first half was very good, in the second we went forward and got out of balance. We gave Liverpool too much space and we need to avoid that. We've had falls in the past and we need to recover - this is Manchester United. You can fall, but you must always get up."

Roy Keane has no mercy
Commentator Roy Keane summed up a horrific performance by his former team: "If I had lost 7-0 I would probably have gone into hiding, not just for a few days, but for a few months. It's really embarrassing for the players. Thank God I've never been part of a team that was beaten like that. The old players really They let the club down. Bruno Fernandez's body language was disrespectful. Talk about the level of concentration at the beginning of the second half? I saw players smiling and laughing when leaving the tunnel. When things got tough, they disappeared."
