Liverpool thrashed by Wolves

Like United vs Crystal Palace, Liverpool's trip to Wolves was also a 3pm kick off.

While United picked up all three points, Liverpool did not enjoy the same fortunes.

The Reds were looking to secure their first Premier League victory of 2023.

But their struggles continued as they were thrashed 3-0.

Joel Matip (own-goal), Craig Dawson and Ruben Neves were all on the scoresheet for Julen Lopetegui's side.

Sir Alex Ferguson was in attendance at Old Trafford.

The Scotsman was seen checking his phone and laughing with actor James Nesbitt towards the end of the match.

David de Gea: The team did really well

David de Gea spoke to the media after the match and he was very complimentary of his side.

He said, per Manchester United's official website: “It was tough, especially after the red card. I think we controlled the game very well. First half, we scored very early and similarly, the second half, we started really well.

“We scored a second and after the red card, of course, it was really tough. We fought until the end and I think the team did really well. We defended really well because they put players in front. We conceded one goal but I think we won a massive three points today.”

He added: "It’s not easy when we lose Casemiro. Then they start to attack and score a goal with still 15 to 20 minutes to go, so I think we showed massive spirit today and great character.

“The whole team, including the players from the bench, have been amazing. That means we are doing really good things as a team and everyone is ready to play.”
