The Blades were far from their best collectively against the European champions and here's how we rated them individually....
1. Dean Henderson - 8
Made a top save to tip Salah’s flicked effort over the bar and later repelled him again at the other end. Unfortunate with Liverpool’s second Photo: James Wilson
2. George Baldock - 6
Looked crestfallen after his early slip allowed Robertson to cross for Salah’s opener Photo: James Wilson
3. Chris Basham - 8
United’s most impressive performer in the first half, with and without the ball. Denied Firmino a goal at the Kop end with an instinctive block Photo: James Wilson
4. John Egan - 6
Marshalled the United defence well and kept Firmino largely quiet, forcing him to drop deep into less dangerous areas Photo: Laurence Griffiths
