Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was critical of his side’s attacking display after their draw against Liverpool.
The Red Devils left Anfield with a point after a spirited display on Merseyside that left Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk fuming.
Few expected United to put up such a fight, particularly following the 7-0 defeat at Anfield last term.
Liverpool dominated on Sunday afternoon, and had the lion’s share of possession.
But United arguably had the best two chances through Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund, with the Dane guilty of squandering a gilt-edged chance.
And, though Ten Hag was happy with the overall display, he felt his side lacked a cutting edge in attack.
‘The performance was very good and the game plan went very well,’ said Ten Hag.‘The players were fantastic. The only criticism was that we could have hurt them more in possession of the ball. We could have won the match on the two chances we had.’

The pressure was building on Ten Hag before the game but the draw gives him a slight reprieve.
The Red Devils take on West Ham at the London Stadium next weekend, before hosting Aston Villa on Boxing Day.
