After the 3-1 win Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho admitted Liverpool were simply better for most of the game. The Portuguese claims, however, United could have won the game and David De Gea would have normally saved the shots he conceded.
Mourinho also shared his impression after watching Andy Robertson play. The Scotland skipper was one of the best on the pitch.
"The strongest team won, but they won in the period when they were not stronger than us," Jose Mourinho told to BBC Sport. "In first 20 minutes of the first-half there was a huge distance [between the teams]. They were better and stronger, they did everything better than us.
"But in the moment when the game was going down, Liverpool's intensity was dying, the centre-backs were shooting from 30-40m, because they could not find spaces in a dangerous area.
"It was a moment that perhaps we could win, but perhaps undeservedly. But we conceded goals David [De Gea] would normally save, but for the deflections.
"Their players gave what they gave, there was a difference of intensity and physicality, pressing and transitions. They were fast and aggressive, we had difficulties to cope.
"But we managed to balance the game at 1-1, the second and third goals are hard. We lost the game with two rebounds.
"Their first 20 minutes we could not breathe, the pressure was so intense. I am still tired looking at Andrew Robertson, tired to look at that kid."
