Manchester United overcame Liverpool with a 2-1 win last night and Gary Neville was chuffed.
Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford fired Manchester United to a memorable first win under Erik ten Hag.
The eyes of the footballing world were focused on a rocking Old Trafford as these old foes went toe-to-toe in search of their first Premier League wins of the season.
Commentary box antics!
Reflecting on his first competitive victory as United boss, Ten Hag told Sky Sports: βNow you see we bring attitude on the pitch and there was communication, there was a fighting spirit and there was a team, and you can see what they can achieve because they can play f****** good football.β
Ronaldo
After the match benched Cristiano Ronaldo came out to speak to the presenters, but as you can see he totally mugged off Jamie Carragher.
Watch
Even Carragher acknowledged it had been a tough night for him.
And this.
Some thought it wasn’t on how Ronaldo reacted.

Bench
Ten Hag made two strong selection calls in leaving Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire out of his starting line-up.
The Dutchman said: βWe have a squad and we have a way of playing, a style and a game plan. You look at what is the best approach to the game.
βThat is what we did today and we will do it every game. Today it was those players, Saturday it could be different.β
Ten Hag insists Ronaldo can fit into his plans.
He said: βI think he can. In his whole career he did it under several managers, in several styles and systems. He always performed so why canβt he do this? His age is not an issue.β
