The Blades were far from their best collectively against the European champions and here's how we rated them individually....
5. Jack O’Connell - 6
The boyhood Red’s Anfield debut didn’t quite go as he would have dreamed, but he almost got an assist after a superb cross was nearly touched in by McBurnie Photo: Simon Bellis
6. Enda Stevens - 6
Given a difficult task to shackle Alexander-Arnold and Salah down the Liverpool right and didn’t disgrace himself. Frustrated when Mousset’s cross didn’t find him in the first half Photo: James Wilson
7. John Lundstram - 6
Went close with a volley soon after Liverpool’s opening goal and had a real battle with Wijnaldum in midfield on his return to the side after an ankle injury Photo: James Wilson
8. Oliver Norwood - 7
Probably the better of United’s midfielders, putting his foot in at crucial times although he wasn’t afforded the space to spray the ball about with his usual aplomb Photo: Simon Bellis
