Bryan Mbeumo scored after one minute against Liverpool
Gary Neville slated Virgil van Dijk's defending after Bryan Mbeumo gave the lead against after only one minute.
Despite their recent losses to and the dramatic 2-1 away defeat to before the international break, Arne Slot's side were the heavy favourites against United. However, after only one minute, Mbeumo slipped behind the Reds defence and slotted a finish through goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.
It silenced Anfield immediately and triggered pandemonium in the away end. Looking back on the build-up of the goal, Neville could not believe Van Dijk's contributions moments before Mbeumo scored.

The Liverpool stalwart stepped forward in a bid to win the ball high up the pitch, but ended up clattering his own team-mate Alexis Mac Allister. He then casually got back into position, but did not spot Mbeumo ghosting in behind him.
After the ball hit the back of the next, Neville, while on co-commentary, said: "What a first minute it is from Manchester United. I was just thinking about getting to first base, 20 to 25 minutes in, but those United fans are delirious to our left.
"Amad and Mbeumo connect, and there's something here that's really unusual. There's a challenge in midfield where Mac Allister down- watch Van Dijk, that's the thing that stuns me.
"Mbeumo runs off the back of Van Dijk- I don't think he sees him. Konate can't get across. But just watch Van Dijk here. The big surprise. Mbeumo gets up,he reacts like a boxer who's been punched, and off he goes, and he's so sharp with his right foot. Stunning start for United."
