I watched my Man Utd team-mates dance in dressing room after Liverpool thrashed us and knew we'd lost control
Liverpool’s record at Old Trafford understandably isn’t the best in the Premier League era.
Travelling to bitter-rivals Manchester United 37 times in all competitions since 1992, they have lost 22 of those clashes and won on just seven occasions. Yet with victories few and far between, it has ultimately made each rare Reds win all the sweeter. Especially when 5-0 and 4-1 thrashings over the Red Devils immediately come to mind whenever the next trip to Old Trafford comes around.
A hat-trick of Danny Murphy 1-0 winners under Gerard Houllier memorably also make up the list, along with a 4-2 victory behind closed doors in May 2021 - in what is one of Jurgen Klopp’s only two Liverpool wins at the ground.

Meanwhile, the remaining win came in March 2014 as Brendan Rodgers’ side ran out 3-0 winners on their way to narrowly missing out on the title, outclassing David Moyes’ side as a brace of Steven Gerrard penalties and late Luis Suarez strike wrapped up a convincing victory.
Of course, as has repeatedly been the case since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in the summer of 2013, United were in disarray at the time. Then led by David Moyes, who would be sacked little over five weeks after the 3-0 loss, defeat to Liverpool left them seventh in the table and 18 points off the league-leaders. Such a gap would extend to 22 points by the time a miserable campaign came to an end.
