'Seven weeks ago the manager was getting sacked' - Neville defends Man Utd's Liverpool approach

Gary Neville has defended Manchester United for their performance against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

The Red Devils travelled to Merseyside at the top of the Premier League and faced with a Liverpool side on a poor run of form and without any established central defenders.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer selected the defensively astute Victor Lindelof alongside Harry Maguire, as opposed to the more flamboyant Eric Bailly, and it was an indicator of a careful approach to the game that ended 0-0.

The game lacked sparkle, although United did miss two decent chances in the second half through Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba.
