Darwin Nunez Mocks Marcus Rashford As Liverpool Thrash Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United

• Darwin Nunez appeared to mock Marcus Rashford after scoring one of Liverpool's goals
• Liverpool put seven past Manchester United in a result that was least expected by fans
• Nunez is slowly picking up form in Merseyside after a frustrating first few months there

Darwin Nunez took a clear and apparent swipe at Marcus Rashford as Liverpool destroyed Manchester United at the Anfield Stadium on March 5.

Jurgen Klopp's side put on a meticulous show to hand United its heaviest defeat in Premier League history, casting doubt on their revival this season under Erik ten Hag.

It was an off day in all sectors for the Red Devils, who appeared to be too slow, as the Anfield voodoo since 2016 continued.

Among the main protagonists in the huge victory was Nunez, who has been on the receiving end of criticism since he joined from Benfica for a club record fee.

The Uruguayan has been scoring but it is the number of chances that he has spurned that has always made him a hot subject on social media.

On Sunday, however, Nunez showed why he deserves to be in Klopp's starting eleven by bagging a brace - both headers - as Liverpool continued with their surge for a top-four finish.

Fans quickly noticed Nunez celebrating with the Rashford style, which has been a hot debate this year. Despite having a frustrating night, the Red Devils star remains the most in-form player in the Premier League.

He has been celebrating his goals by pointing to his temple and Nunez apparently took a cue from that by using the same motions.

Sports Brief also reported on Nunez mocking Everton players as his side claimed three crucial points at the Anfield Stadium on February 13.

Liverpool were in dire need of a positive result after a recent run of poor form, with the striker starting alongside Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo.

The Uruguayan hitman led a counter-attack before setting up Salah for the opening goal. Gakpo got his first goal for the Reds in the second half.
