However Manchester United players underestimated their bitter rivals Liverpool and a hostile Anfield atmosphere. They went on to record their worst loss in history on the weekend.
There is no doubt that the Red Devils current form came as a surprise to many especially after a poor start of the season. The crown of their great form was last weekend’s Carabao Cup trophy win after beating Newcastle in the final.
However, Manchester United players and fans got a much needed reality check at Anfield, as they are now sitting 14 points behind the league leaders Arsenal and nine points behind second-placed Manchester City.
