Owen argues United should not automatically chase a big-name coach if Carrick keeps this level and delivers Champions League qualification. He says the performances look more stable and confident than anything United have shown in years.

With Liverpool pushing forward, Cherki released Haaland through on goal. Szoboszlai pulled Haaland back, Haaland then pulled Szoboszlai as the ball trickled in. VAR ruled the goal out for Haaland’s foul and dismissed Szoboszlai for denying a clear chance earlier in the move. Haaland said he felt bad for Szoboszlai and preferred the goal to stand.
