Cristiano Ronaldo could only stand and watch as his team faced the wrath of a spirited Liverpool side in front of their own fans.
It was an evening to forget for Manchester United as they were massacred 5-0 by Liverpool in Sunday’s highly-anticipated Premier League fixture at Old Trafford.
The humiliation saw Manchester United make some history – but only the unwanted ones. First of all, the 5-0 defeat marked their heaviest one at home against their bitter rivals.
Secondly, the loss was their second-worst against Liverpool one in well over a century, since the 7-1 drubbing in October 1895 – a time when the club was still called Newton Heath LYR F.C. – to be precise.

Furthermore, the Red Devils conceded at least five goals without scoring a single one since 1955.
Pressure continues to pile on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, whose team has now dropped down to seventh in the Premier League table after managing to amass just 14 points from their opening nine games of the 2021-22 campaign.
