FT: And that's it folks. Manchester United lose back-to-back matches after being comfortably beaten 3-0 at Old Trafford. It was never really fun doubt for Liverpool, who clinch three wins and three clean sheets from their opening three Premier league fixtures.
Former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher on Sky Sports: "Have they fixed the roof at Old Trafford yet?
Gary Neville replies: "They need to fix their defence first."

92: Harry Maguire heads an effort on target but Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson grabs it and rolls it out calmly. Quite a sobering sight to see Old Trafford empty now -- maybe 30,40 thousand have left.

90: Luis Diaz is given the Player of the Match award after his brace. Five added minutes.

89: Darwin Nunez fizzes an effort just past the bottom right-hand corner after referee Anthony Taylor waved play on.
Liverpool aren't entirely happy about it - they wanted a penalty for a foul for Noussair Mazraoui's challenge on Cody Gakpo.

88: "I think he's going to get to Christmas," says Gary Neville about Erik Ten Hag's chances of remaining Manchester United manager. "He is going to get a few months, there's no doubt about that."

85: Kostas Tsimikas replaces Andrew Robertson for the closing stages. Robertson's 300th game for Liverpool - Tsimikas' 50th Premier League appearance.
"You're going down with the blue s****," sing the Liverpool fans. I'm sure neither Manchester United or Everton supporters will appreciate that.
Joshua Zirkzee off, Christian Eriksen on.

82: I don't see how Erik ten Hag can leave Amad Diallo for the next match. He's looked so positive since his introduction. Ok, his latest effort is a bit wild but at least he's still going for it.
MAN UTD 0-3 LIVERPOOL
80: "Just finish it. Ridiculous. It's unprofessional," says Jamie Carragher as Dominik Szoboszlai receives the ball six-yards out with the goal at his mercy and opts to try and dance around the defender instead of stick it in.
MAN UTD 0-3 LIVERPOOL
79: Amad Diallo has had more touches in the opposition penalty area in the five minutes he's been on (5) than any Manchester United player today.
Close! Marcus Rashford curls in a peach of a cross to the back post where Joshua Zirkzee arrives on cue but he shins it wide.

76: A double Liverpool change as Conor Bradley and Darwin Nunez replace Diogo Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Trent didn't look entirely happy when his number was held up, but just about managed to crack a smile as he applauds the travelling supporters.

75: Just over 15 minutes left in this one. Can Manchester United grab one back and make it less of a grey day at Old Trafford?
Mohamed Salah is the only visiting player to be directly involved in 3+ goals in a Premier League game at Old Trafford on more than one occasion (October 2021 and today).
MAN UTD 0-3 LIVERPOOL
73: Amad Diallo's arrival has sparked a bit of a revival from Manchester United with the attacking winger winning a corner. Shortly after he curls a decent ball in for Lisandro Martinez, who acrobatically overhead kicks it wide.

70: Erik ten Hag makes a couple of changes with Matthijs de Ligt and Alejandro Garnacho replaced by Harry Maguire and Amad Diallo.
Audible boos from the United fans. They aren't happy that Garnacho's been taken off.

67: Substitute Cody Gakpo flashes a header wide from Dominik Szoboszlai's cross.

65: Close! Referee Anthony Taylor waves play-on as Luis Diaz is hauled down with a dangerous tackle from Matthijs de Ligt.
Diogo Jota collects the loose ball and drives into the penalty area before being tackled as he was looking to pull the trigger. Should really have laid it off for one of his colleagues.
De Ligt is eventually booked when the ball goes out of play. Luis Diaz off, Cody Gakpo comes on. Now that's strength in depth.
MAN UTD 0-3 LIVERPOOL
63: Chance! And this one is for Manchester United for a change. Marcus Rashford chips in a cross for Joshua Zirkzee to attack. His header is matched by a good save from Alisson to protect Liverpool's clean sheet.
MAN UTD 0-3 LIVERPOOL
61: Gary Neville is decidedly unimpressed with Marcus Rashford, who is released down the left channel but opts to cut back instead of taking on an isolated Ibrahima Konate.
"It's getting hard work for him, and it's getting hard work for fans to watch him," said Gary Neville on Sky Sports.
"At the moment it looks like Man Utd need an extra man back there as they are getting absolutely mauled."
Zero shots in three matches for Marcus Rashford this season,
MAN UTD 0-3 LIVERPOOL
59: Mohamed Salah is relentless. He's just had ANOTHER opportunity and curls it just wide of the far bottom corner. And it's not long before Ibrahima Konate shoots over from a corner.
Really worrying moments for Manchester United here. This could be 5-0, 6-0 or even 7-0.

57: It should be 4-0. Straight from kick off Lisandro Martinez who loses the ball and Mohamed Salah embarks on a mazy run into the penalty area before firing over from 14 yards.
MAN UTD 0-3 LIVERPOOL - SALAH
55: Goal! This could get ugly.
Mohamed Salah always delivers at this stadium, and he's delivered again today. Alexis Mac Allister bullies Kobbie Mainoo off the ball and slips it through to Dominik Szoboszlai. He finds Mohamed Salah who makes no mistake with a thumping finish into the bottom corner.

MAN UTD 0-2 LIVERPOOL
54: So, game-changers. They all appear to be on Liverpool's bench but there are a few on United's bench capable of making a difference. Amad Diallo, Christian Eriksen, Antony and… that's about it. Unlikely the two goalkeepers (Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton) are going to bang one in.
Save! Alisson palms away Joshua Zirkzee's effort to safety. Toby Collyer did well to nod it down for his colleague in the build-up.
Virgil van Dijk booked for a foul on Bruno Fernandes.

51: Well, after the concussion check Manchester United's Noussair Mazraoui is deemed OK. He's back on the field.
MAN UTD 0-2 LIVERPOOL
48: When it rains, it pours. Noussair Mazraoui is caught by Diogo Jota and needs the physios on. It really doesn't look good and Jonny Evans and Harry Maguire head out to warm up.
He got a knee to the head so they're checking him for concussion here.

45: Oof! How about that. Toby Collyer, born in Worthing, comes on to replace Casemiro. He's making his Premier League debut at 20-years-old. Very ruthless from Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag. No changes for Liverpool, obviously.
Gary Neville on Sky Sports said: "That feels a big moment. I don't know how that conversation has gone at half time when Ten Hag has hooked Casemiro in front of all his team-mates.
"I don't think he would have brought him off for the two mistakes. I think it was what happened after that and the reaction of the crowd.
"I feel for him..."
Toby Collyer is the first player to make his Premier League debut in a fixture between Manchester United and Liverpool since Brandon Williams in October 2019.
