Thiago Alcantara He said after the game: “When we have such players on offense and you see how they perform and also how they help the defense, it helps us a lot. This is one of our best performances at Anfield this season. We are not worried about the amount of goals and where they will come from. We are happy for all our strikers. And the way we play. “
Mohammad Salah He said: “Our link makes it very easy for us. Once we score the first goal, we want the second and third as well. It was a great performance of ours and I hope we continue like this. I score a lot of goals for the club, sometimes I get a little unlucky. The most important thing is “That the team wins. We have to concentrate only on ourselves and the rest is not in our hands.”
United Contact Bruno Fernandez He said: “It does not deserve our fans, they deserve much more than that. The fact that they stay and cheer for us, they deserve much more. We must raise our level. I think everyone runs, everyone strives. I do not think there is anyone who does not give 100% We say a lot of things, but it stays in the locker room. Now the game is over and we’re just thinking about the next game. Liverpool are ready to win the championship, we are not. I should not at all talk about the difference in level. We should look at ourselves and understand what is not working. “Everything until the end. No one can give up and think it’s over. We have something to fight for.”
The commentator and former actor of the Red Devils, Gary Neville, Has not spared criticism of the team he has played his entire career: “I have never seen Manchester United a team so passionate about the game since I started watching its games. These players want the season to end to hide behind the new coach and blame the old, culture of excuses permeates the club “All the players are fit, but a lot of them go on the field.”
Past connection Roy Cain Said: “It’s not anger, it was anger at the beginning of the season. Now it’s just sadness. You look at the team today, no attention, no soul, no leaders, lacking quality. This team is so far from the level and you look at the fans tonight… No “A surprise with the result, but Liverpool could have won at any moment they wanted when they came forward. So sad to see it, this is not the club I played for. It does not reflect what Manchester United stood for when I played.”
