David de Gea
Lisandro Martinez was in his eyeline for Cody Gakpo's goal and his day just got worse from there. 1
Diogo Dalot
Came into the game after being admonished early on but his positioning was poor for the first goal and his afternoon got worse. 1
Raphael Varane
Inexplicably allowed Gakpo to come inside and have a free shot to start the goal glut. His worst performance of the season. 1

Lisandro Martinez
Reasonably solid in the first half but easily deceived by Mohamed Salah for the contest-killing third goal. 1
Luke Shaw
A regular outlet in the final third in the first half but hardly spent any time there in the second. Got wound up and regressed massively. 1
Casemiro
Uncharacteristically careless with the ball and this proved to be a game too far for one of United's players of the season. Liverpool overwhelmed him. 1
Fred
Energetic and eager as ever in pressing his opponents but United's willingness to let Fred wander forward contributed to their looseness. 1
Antony
Drew a save from Alisson to unsettle Liverpool but his crosses were dire and he regressed by running into cul-de-sacs. 1
Bruno Fernandes
Started the game playing out of position and on this occasion he could not effect the play whatsoever. Became more truculent as the scoreline got worse. 1
Marcus Rashford
Missed a huge chance at 0-0 that ultimately cost United. He has carried the attack all season but picked the worst place possible to be weighed down by the burden. 1
Wout Weghorst
Dropped back into the No.10 role and had some decent interplay but was never a goalscoring threat. One goal in 13 games now. 1
Subs
Scott McTominay
Unwittingly assisted Salah. 1
