Man Utd played defensively to earn points at Anfield against Liverpool in the 17th round of the Premier League. During the match, they faced 34 shots from their opponents. However, it is not that Man Utd did not have a chance to win.

The Red Devils' best chance of the match came in the 67th minute. From a quick counter-attack, McTominay passed the ball in one touch to Rasmus Hojlund, who ran down to face goalkeeper Alisson.
In the first situation, the Danish striker shot straight into the chest of the Liverpool goalkeeper. Then, Alisson fell to his knees and could not fly further, and Hojlund's shot was too weak.
Many Man Utd fans were furious after Hojlund kicked the winner away from their team. Here are some typical comments on Twitter:
"Hojlund missed a great chance. Unforgivable."
"You wonder why Hojlund hasn't scored a goal in the Premier League. Just look at the way he finishes."
"Hojlund, how much better of a chance do you want?".

Despite scoring five goals in six Champions League games this season, Hojlund has failed to score in 13 Premier League appearances. Gary Neville believes the 20-year-old striker is not a good striker.
The former Man Utd player said: "Hojlund lost his composure in that moment. That was the moment when class spoke. Unfortunately, Hojlund lacked that. He has good physical strength but is not a good striker. Hojlund's finishing ability is problematic. I think he is like Darwin Nunez."
Not only Hojlund, Man Utd's attack has been very bad this season. After 17 matches in the Premier League, they have only scored 18 goals. Rashford is the top scorer of Man Utd's attack but only has two goals. Young talent Garnacho also has only one goal. The person with the most goals for Man Utd is McTominay with 5 goals.
