Meetings between Manchester United and Liverpool today are often extremely tense and have many goals scored.
Even the most recent 0-0 draw had a lot to talk about after the match. English football’s oldest rivalry will be extended as they prepare to meet in the FA Cup quarter-finals. Before this great battle begins, let’s look back at the results of the 5 most recent encounters between these two great rivals.
1. Liverpool 0-0 Man United – Premier League
In the first leg of this season’s Premier League match held at the end of last year, the Red Brigade took 34 shots towards the away team’s goal but no goals were scored. Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United determined to play to the death to gain 1 point away from Anfield.
2. Liverpool 7-0 Man United – Premier League
The Red Devils’ away trip in the second leg of the Premier League last season turned into a nightmare because no fan could have thought of this horrifying scenario. What is surprising is that the score only opened in the 43rd minute thanks to Cody Gakpo.
However, Jurgen Klopp’s students accelerated and played extremely well in the second half to score 6 more goals. Among them, Gakpo had 1 more goal, the remaining goals came from a double from Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah, and 1 goal from Roberto Firmino.
3. Man United 2-1 Liverpool – Premier League
Liverpool started the 2022/23 season with two draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace, but they were still full of confidence when marching to Old Trafford because of their overwhelming force. Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag is under great pressure after his first two matches leading the Red Devils were defeats against Brighton and Brentford.
The Dutch strategist received a lot of criticism and doubts from Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher before the match. They said that he was not good enough to lead Man United, but then two goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford helped Ten Hag have their first victory against the Red Devils’ arch-rival.
4. Man United 4-0 Liverpool – Friendly
This is a prime example of why results on summer tours have never been an important factor when considering a team’s strength. In a meeting in Bangkok in July 2022, Jurgen Klopp suffered his first defeat against Ten Hag.
5. Liverpool 4-0 Man United – Premier League
Ralf Rangnick is truly a mysterious man. The 2021/22 season will always rank among the Red Devils’ most confusing campaigns. Especially in this match, where Phil Jones was introduced from the start, Paul Pogba made his last appearance for the club but left the field after just 10 minutes. Liverpool seemed to have such an easy game that many wondered why they only scored 4 goals.
