The Title Race Is Heating Up And Its About To Get Real! Man United’s Next 5 Fixtures Revealed – Can They Keep Pace with Arsenal, Man City, and Tottenham in the Most Unpredictable Premier League Season Ever?
Manchester United put an end to their recent struggles with a spirited performance that earned them a 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. In a pulsating second half on Merseyside, United showed resilience to claw back a point, largely thanks to a late strike by Amad Diallo.
Lisandro Martinez gave United an early lead, but the Red Devils were soon pegged back by a determined Liverpool side. Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah struck for the hosts, flipping the game in Liverpool’s favor. However, United refused to back down, with Diallo converting a precise low cross from Alejandro Garnacho to level the scoreline.
The match could have ended in dramatic fashion for Ruben Amorim’s side, as Garnacho came agonizingly close to scoring a winner, and Harry Maguire missed a golden opportunity in the dying moments by blazing over from close range. While United were unable to secure the victory, the result ends their losing streak and offers a much-needed confidence boost ahead of a busy run of fixtures.
