Manchester United's gutsy performance at Anfield earns them a 0-0 draw against Liverpool, denting Jurgen Klopp's bid to win the Premier League title. Ten Hag's team now six points off fourth-place Manchester City.
A 0-0 draw at Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday won't win any beauty pageants, but a stubborn and battling performance at Anfield suggests Manchester United's players are up for the fight.
On too many occasions this season, the opposite has looked to be the case.
"You have to fight always for the badge," United manager Erik Ten Hag said. "The way we defended it was almost perfect. When we made a mistake there was always a teammate to sort it out. I think that is the big win from today. We have to keep this and bring this every game."
