Back to the sporty side and onto the pitch, where Liverpool found their rhythm faster at the beginning of the second round. The Klopp-Elf gets stuck up front and quickly puts the pressure on the United defense again.
48
22:05
The sight of Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench is amusing. The Portuguese looks grimly at the pitch and cannot really enjoy his team’s great performance. The good thing for United: It’s probably possible without the bitchy old master!
46
22:03
The second half is on and begins with a surprising change at the home side: Elanga, who provided the assist at 1-0, stays out and is replaced by Martial. Is the young Swede perhaps stricken?

Mid-term conclusion:
Manchester United surprises in derby against Liverpool and leads 1-0 at half-time – without Ronaldo! The Red Devils impressed the Klopp team at the beginning with a courageous and very gripping performance and quickly created their first chances with counterattacks. As a result, the Reds did not find their fast-paced game and consequently conceded the 0-1 through Sancho in the 16th minute. After that, the favorite from Liverpool slowly increased and pushed United deeper and deeper into their own penalty area. At this stage, United almost scored an own goal in the 41st, but then saved the narrow lead at the break. Will United succeed in the big liberation today or will Liverpool turn it up again?

Official stoppage time (minutes): 1

21:45
Yellow card for Diogo Dalot (Manchester United)
Again hectic before the tea break! Van Dijk gets his own keeper in trouble with a nasty ricochet and almost gives United 2-0 in the penalty area. Alisson saves well in front of the goal, whereupon Liverpool starts to counterattack. Dalot prevents this with a foul on Luis Díaz.
43
21:44
The impacts are getting closer! United are trembling more and more in the direction of the half-time whistle. Liverpool have been in front of De Gea for minutes in the final third and are pushing for an equaliser.
41
21:42
United slapstick rescue! At the corner after that, United almost put the ball in the goal themselves: Bruno Fernandes shoots Martínez on the goal line and almost scores a very curious own goal. The Red Devils are really lucky there…
41
21:41
Blocked! Salah takes another nice deposit from Firmino and wants to shoot the ball from ten meters up in the top right corner. Malacia rushes over and blocks!
40
21:40
At the moment there is not much going forward at Manchester United. The hosts tend to manage and want to save the 1-0 lead at half-time.
37
21:38
The pressure from the Reds is increasing slightly. Salah and Co. now get stuck longer in front of the United penalty area and gain more time on the offensive. However, the Red Devils’ defense is still wide awake and in the duels they brace themselves against the Reds’ forward line.
35
21:36
Is there a gap? Salah sneaks into the penalty area from the right and causes a mess in front of De Gea with a cross pass. Varane clears right at Elliott’s foot, but Elliott is too surprised and misses.
34
21:35
United are moving fast and vertically. Elanga tries to get away on the left wing and is straddled by the attentive Alisson. The LFC keeper plays attentively and saves confidently with a trip to the sideline.
33
21:33
Around ten minutes before the break, possession is now 75 percent for Liverpool. The Klopp men are working their way into the game, but are still waiting for the first big chance.
32
21:31
However, Alexander-Arnold’s cross is too short and lands on the first post directly at Dalot. Shortly thereafter, the right-back throws a long cross clearly into the goal.
31
21:30
The guests remain on the offensive and work out the next corner kick via a push from Díaz.
29
21:30
Liverpool are making slight progress. The Klopp-Elf follows up more in the United penalty area and also benefits from a too-short clarification act by the home side. After the game shifted to the right, Henderson shot it from the second row, but hardly hit the ball. The shot clearly misses De Gea’s goal.
27
21:26
Yellow card for Raphaël Varane (Manchester United)
On the left side, Liverpool managed to get behind the Red Devils’ first line of defense for the first time with more speed. Varane sacrifices himself with a tactical foul and also sees yellow.
25
21:26
The second Erikson free kick is better! This time the Dane aims at the second post from the left corner of the penalty area and hits the ball with great feeling. Alisson has to get to it and steers the leather over the bar with his fingertips.
24
21:24
Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool FC) is shown a yellow card.
United set the next counterattack and Liverpool are again a step too late. This time Elanga puts in the turbo on the left wing and is knocked down by Alexander-Arnold.
23
21:23
The Klopp team seems almost impressed by how strong United are today. After the 4-0 loss at Brentford, even the most loyal United fans probably didn’t expect such a performance…
21
21:21
Again and again long balls for Rashford! The Reds have big problems with the fast United striker, who is always waiting for the next steep assist. Now Gomez saves at the last second as the last defender in the backcourt.
19
21:20
Almost the Reds’ answer! Luis Díaz has a lot of space in front of the opponent’s penalty area and flicks a shot from 16 meters away just over the woodwork.
18
21:19
Can United manage the hoped-for liberation today and the first win under ten Hag? So far, things are looking up for the hot Red Devils! The stadium also celebrates the lead and loudly yells for United.
16
21:15
Tooor for Manchester United, 1-0 through Jadon Sancho
Sancho scores and Old Trafford freaks out! The Red Devils tricked the Reds defense with a one-two, in which Elanga played back to Sancho from the left goal line. In the middle of the sixteen, the ex-Dortmunder first dances out of Milner and then shoots the ball almost from a standing position into the bottom left corner!
12.
21:14
Liverpool aren’t quite there yet in the derby. The Reds are not getting going and have been at a disadvantage in the close duels so far. United acts in a focused manner and quickly forwards the ball to the top.
10
21:11
Lucky post for Liverpool! McTominay initiates with a through pass and pulls the LFC defense apart. After a straddled pass from Bruno Fernandes, Elanga pulls from the left and hits the right outer post against Alisson, who storms out!
9.
21:09
United presented themselves very handy in the early stages. Ten Hag’s eleven seem to know what’s at stake today!
8th.
21:08
No danger. Eriksen’s free kick lands deflected in goal. The following first corner of the Red Devils remains uneventful.
7.
21:08
Interesting free kick for United! Rashford escaped the LFC defense again, so Alexander-Arnold had to resort to a tactical foul just before his own danger zone. However, there is not yet a yellow card from the referee. Now Eriksen steps in directly from the left corner of the sixteen.
6.
21:06
On the other hand, Milner takes a pass on the five and wants to turn around his own axis towards the goal. Varane and Martínez help each other and prevent Liverpool’s first shot on goal.
4.
21:04
Almost the first chance! Bruno Fernandes plays the first hit of the night and sends Rashford down to the left. Shortly before the shot from 14 meters, van Dijk straddles with his long leg in between!
3.
21:03
The Reds want to put direct pressure on the United defense, which has been so uncertain of late, and immediately start energetically. Varane and Co. are initially flawless.
1.
21:01
The derby is on! Liverpool visit Manchester in white shirts and toast. The Red Devils wear their well-known home jersey in red. The referee is Michael Oliver.
20:59
And now it’s getting hot! The teams run into the Theater of Dreams and all the fans eagerly await the kick-off. Will the Klopp team roll over the Red Devils again or will ten Hag break free?
20:50
With only two draws against Crystal Palace (1-1) and Fulham (2-2), Liverpool didn’t have the best start to the season either and are therefore also putting pressure on their rivals. In the recent 1-1 draw with Palace, million-dollar new signing Darwin Núñez also made an inglorious home debut and was sent off for an assault in the 57th minute. Luis Diaz saved the Reds a point shortly afterwards with a dream goal.
20:47
Jürgen Klopp also rotates compared to the previous week and nominates Gomez, Henderson and Roberto Firmino for the starting XI. Otherwise, the bad luck with injuries continues at LFC: Diogo Jota, Thiago or Joel Matip are all unplayable.
20:41
After the false start, ten Hag made four changes today and does not shy away from big names: Shaw, Fred, Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo are all only on the bench. Newcomers are Varane, Malacia, McTominay and Elanga.
20:37
Instead of the hoped-for spirit of optimism under Ten Hag, there is much more apocalyptic mood in Old Trafford, which was already heated up. Should the next duel with Liverpool end in disaster again, the first consequences are likely to follow at United. In addition to a quick end to ten Hag, Ronaldo could also be kicked out to start a new start.
20:30
If the two slaps against the hasty archenemy weren’t enough, United are now making themselves a laughing stock at the start of the new season. In the midst of the chaos surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo, who was willing to change, Erik ten Hag made a catastrophic start as the new coach and, after a 2-1 defeat at the start against Brighton, even conceded a crashing 0-4 smack at underdog Brentford with United.
20:14
The duel between Manchester United and Liverpool FC is one of the most prestigious derbies in the world and is the big highlight on the island every year. So normally. Jürgen Klopp is now playing with his Reds in a different league than the formerly glorious United and twice smashed the Red Devils 4-0 and 5-0 last season.
19:52
Good evening to the derby between Manchester United and Liverpool FC! Does the Klopp team get their first win of the season from their ailing arch-enemy?
