Man Utd ratings: Bruno Fernandes non-existent again but Jadon Sancho shows glimpses as Liverpool run riot at Anfield

MANCHESTER UNITED were swept aside once again as Liverpool won 4-0 to take the aggregate score this season to 9-0.

Luis Diaz got proceedings underway with five minutes on the clock to round off a lethal move.

Mo Salah made it two on 22 minutes in style and, despite a brief threat of a United goal, Sadio Mane killed it off with a third midway through the second half before Salah completed the scoring.

It was another horror display for the Red Devils as they were utterly outclassed yet again.

Here's how SunSport's Joshua Jones slated Ralf Rangnick's men...

David De Gea - 5/10

Could do nothing as Luis Diaz slammed home from close range then understandably didn't take kindly to Trent Alexander-Arnold booting the ball past him.

Produced a couple of saves but then struggled to get the flops in front of him going.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 5

Started out at right wing-back then switched flanks with Diogo Dalot to give the Portuguese a breather, staying on the left when United switched to a back four.

Was pretty poor in both directions, as with his defensive colleagues looked like he was chasing shadows most of the time, although did make a strong recovery tackle to prevent a Salah hat-trick.

Victor Lindelof - 6

Was just about the only man in pale blue willing to put a foot in and go through with a heavy challenge.

Yes, he gave a few fouls away but at least he was showing signs of passion.

Phil Jones - 5

Playing in his second Premier League game since January 2020 and first against Liverpool for five years.

Tasked with marshalling the defence as the central man at the back - and was confused whether to step up or drop off as Liverpool broke the deadlock.

Lasted 45 minutes as Jadon Sancho came on for the second half in an attacking change.

Harry Maguire - 3

The captain spoke about his season's performances ahead of the game - but five minutes in he was in no man's land as United were torn apart.

Could only stand and watch motionless as Liverpool carved them open again easier than the chef at a Toby Carvery.

Diogo Dalot - 3

Was beaten all ends up for the Liverpool opener as he lost Mo Salah.

The movement of the Egyptian, Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold's movement and passing left him bamboozled - so much so he had to switch flanks.

Paul Pogba - 4

Ruined a glorious chance to counter attack in the opening minutes as he tried a Hollywood left-footed pass to gift possession away.

And that was his only involvement as he limped off with just ten minutes on the clock.

If that is him out for the season, is that his time at United done?

Nemanja Matic - 3

While Pogba may be off in the summer, Matic definitely is leaving.

Even as one of United's most experienced players, he looked frazzled at times as they capitulated.

A strong recovery interception prevented a third after 32 minutes.

Bruno Fernandes - 2

Bruno Fernandes was playing, was he? He may as well have sat this one out - he was utterly anonymous.

Until he tried to turn out of a tight spot under pressure and passed straight to a red shirt.

Then sulked his way through the second half and could have seen red for kicking Alexander-Arnold in the knee.

Woeful display. Pathetic.

Marcus Rashford - 5

Pretty much a spectator - until he did get two chances: he miscontrolled one and hit Alisson with the other.

This would have somehow knocked his rock-bottom confidence even lower.

Anthony Elanga - 5

At least Elanga actually seems to care a bit. The young Swede did his best - but it was nowhere near enough to hurt Liverpool.

His - and United's - night was summed up with his panicking and lack of composure gifting the Reds a corner from nothing.

Should have buried the rebound when Rashford was denied and VAR would have given the goal.

SUBS:

Jesse Lingard (for Pogba, 10 mins) - 4

Got the nod over Jadon Sancho for the early change. A couple of glimpses of involvement, that was about it.

Received a nasty challenge from Naby Keita which could easily have resulted in a red card.

Jadon Sancho (for Jones, HT) - 7

Rangnick recognised the back five wasn't working so changed it up by bringing on the attacker.

He did get on the ball and drive at the Reds back line after coming on, arguably United's 'best' player and biggest threat. Not that that is saying much.

Hannibal Mejbri (for Elanga, 84 mins) - 5

Came on for the last few minutes for just his second Prem appearance - and within seconds gave the ball away for the fourth.

Picked up a yellow then seconds later the Anfield crowd were calling for a second - a rare bit of bite.
