DBasia.news – The euphoria of Manchester United fans was immediately shattered by just one match in the North West Derby match, against Liverpool. The Reds managed to beat the Red Devils with 7-0 points.
Liverpool’s players scored two goals each, namely Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah, who were added to by Roberto Firmino’s goals. The Red Devils are practically helpless and have lost in all aspects, including the mentality of playing at Anfield.
Despite receiving the worst defeat in the Premier League and also against Liverpool since 1895, in the end Man United only lost three points and they are still in a good position in the Premier League (third place), and are fighting in the Europa League and FA Cup.
This was also seen by football pundit and Man United legend, Rio Ferdinand. The crushing defeat at Anfield is painful and will leave deep scars, but according to Ferdinand, Man United cannot simply forget the good season they are having this season.
“We have been destroyed. It was a massacre, an absolute massacre at Anfield. That’s all acre at Anfield. That’s all yo ereensaid. The players will be ashamed,” Ferdinand said on YouTube.
“If I were him the team would know I’d be disappointed but one of the main points is don’t let this derail your season now. You come back tomorrow, you get back to work, look at what went wrong and then you go against Southampton at Old Trafford.”
“You made sure you gave the fans something to scream about after the embarrassment here at Anfield. You all sit there and let the feelings sink in about how embarrassing and how bad it feels.”
This week Man United will return to action after the massacre against Real Betis in the first leg of the last 16 of the Europa League, Friday (10/03), as well as the Premier League match against Southampton at Old Trafford, Sunday (12/03) at 21.00 WIB.
