Manchester United and Liverpool have always been rivals. For Manchester United coaches, Liverpool is the opponent that you would better not lose to. Before the game, Mourinho, who knows this very well, said that the team would play offensively. As a result, he reneged on his words. From the beginning, Manchester United had played traditional Mourinho’s defensive football, and they had no power to fight back. The score of 1-3 made Mourinho embarrassed, and also made Manchester United fans extremely desperate.
Manchester United actually has fallen behind with 19 points to the leader Liverpool after 17 league matches. Since the English League changed to 3-point system (3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a lost), Manchester United has never been fallen behind with such a huge point difference.

Mourinho has always been known for his expertise in defense, but Manchester United’s current defense is simply terrible. In this battle, Manchester United lost three goals. Now, after 17 rounds, the Red Devils has lost a total of 29 goals. It has to be mentioned that they only lost 28 goals last season. In addition, Manchester United has never lost so many goals in 17 rounds of league games since the 1962-63 season.
After 17 rounds of league, Manchester United scored only 26 points, behind the fourth Chelsea 11 points. Under such a tough circumstance, Mourinho still insists that Manchester United can be the top four when the season ends. 26 points after 17 rounds, this is the lowest score of Manchester United since the 1990-91 season, and Manchester United was ranked sixth in the league that season. After the establishment of the Premier League, Ferguson, Moyes, and Van Gaal all led the team scored more than 26 points after 17 rounds.
In this meeting, Ferguson also came to watch the game in Anfield, and former Manchester United CEO David Gill accompanied him. The 76-year-old Sir Alex Ferguson was very frustrated in the stands, frowning and shaking his head. Obviously, he is dissatisfied with Mourinho’s coaching and especially Manchester United’s performance.
In May of this year, Ferguson was hospitalized due to illness, but then his condition improved and he gradually recovered. This season, Ferguson, who is worried about Manchester United, has been on the stands many times to cheer for the team, but he has not see United win for even once. Previously, because of watching three consecutive games in 9 days, Sir Alex Ferguson was once banned by the doctor to go to the stadium, so he did not appear in the game against Fulham.
After coaching Manchester United for 25 years, Ferguson won 13 Premier League titles. After he retired, Manchester United seems to lost the glory they have once had. Seeing Ferguson’s disappointing expression today, many Manchester United fans are very distressed. They have posted messages on the Internet, and advised the old man not to come to watch United play in the future. The health is the most important. Don’t let United’s poor performance make you sick.
