Liverpool had a way of playing.

When asked if he expects United to spend heavily in the summer, Iriwn said: “I don’t have a clue”. He didn’t call for Van Gaal to be sacked, though, because if he did that then his best friend Ryan Giggs might not get the job this time.
Marouane Fellaini says the blame for Manchester United’s defeat against Liverpool in the UEFA Europa League lays squarely on the players and not manager Louis Van Gaal.
“It’s not giving the best results, but I think it’s working – yes”, he added, while admitting, “It’s not good enough when you think you have to be champions or win the Europa League and FA Cup”.
“Manchester United should be competing to win the Premier League and Champions League every season”, said Scholes.
“They have spent £300 million and they are sixth in the league”. United suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Liverpool in the Europa League clash at Anfiled on 10 March. They, possibly, could be captain but are they real Manchester United captains?
“I hope none of the players comes out saying sorry on Twitter”.
Van Gaal’s style has both hindered United’s players and allowed them to flourish.
“In the second half we changed the shape and we had much more contribution in the game but we didn’t create many chances and they scored another cheap goal”.
Liverpool’s fans set the tone for their team’s performance with a rousing pre-match rendition of “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, the club’s anthem, and Klopp paid tribute to them afterwards.
“We did not cope with the high pressure of Liverpool”, the Dutchman told his post-match press conference.
The chants during the first leg were roundly condemned on social media at the time but Merseyside Police received no complaints and United were quick to condemn the actions of a minority of their fans.
“The atmosphere was unbelievable, really great”.
He said, “Fellaini isn’t someone you can play through”.
Tomorrow Everton host Chelsea before the Sunday games when Arsenal are at home to Watford before Manchester United receive West Ham at Old Trafford.

“We’ll approach the second leg exactly the same as we did the first leg. That’s the only way we know”.
