Liverpool vs Man United: Stats Show Red Devils Were Always Going to Struggle at Anfield Despite Recent Revival

• Liverpool beat Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday with a 7-0 scoreline
• The demolition was Man United's biggest Premier League loss in club history
• The Red Devils were hammered despite winning the Carabao Cup last week

It was a Sunday to forget for Manchester United after they were beaten by seven goals by their fiercest rival, Liverpool in the North-West derby on Sunday.

The two teams went into the half-time with the Reds only one goal up through January signing, Cody Gakpo but things escalated quickly in the second half and six more goals were added to the scoreline to make it an embarrassment for United.

The demolition was Man United's biggest Premier League loss in their history, as reported by ABC, surpassing their previous records of 6-1 defeats to Manchester City and Tottenham.

The Red Devils have become a team to fear under Erik ten Hag, who broke their six-year trophy drought last week by beating Newcastle United 2-0 at Wembley.

As reported by Goal, the last time they recorded a victory at Anfield against their rivals was in 2016 under Dutch manager, Louis Van Gaal, when Wayne Rooney grabbed the game's only goal.

As noted by Sports Brief journalist, René Otinga, Liverpool have won five of the last eight and had three 0-0 draws. They conceded once in a 3-1 win in December 2018, the match which got José Mourinho sacked at United.

The aggregate scoreline over that period is an amazing 18-1, which proves Anfield has become United's bogey stadium, where they always struggle regardless of their form.

Klopp sent warning to United

Sports Brief previously reported on Jurgen Klopp warning Man United ahead of the biggest match on the English football calendar.

The German acknowledged their rivals are in better form but after a win over Wolves, he felt confident his team would put up a big fight.

Klopp also considered United one of the title contenders along with Arsenal and Man City, but the 7-0 defeat has put this in question.
