I think so too and it seems that Ten Hag managed not to embarrass Man United in the anfield because as we know many people think that Liverpool will embarrass Man United again at Anfield, but unfortunately Ten Hag seems to have learned from the failure in the previous match where he really did. pressured his players to be able to play pressing and defending so as not to concede goals and unexpectedly, in the end Man United managed to hold a draw and share points with Liverpool
It's truly unexpected, if Manchester United performed in the UCL like they did when holding Liverpool to a draw at Anfield, maybe they would have qualified for the round of 16 easily. Manchester United's success in stealing points at Liverpool's headquarters was beyond expectations, because they came to Anfield with a less than good record.
This draw was a good achievement for Manchester United, but not for Liverpool. Losing two points at home meant Liverpool had to swap positions with Arsenal. Now Liverpool have to settle for being in second place with 38 points, while Arsenal, who managed to beat Brighton, has collected 39 points.
Manchester United marked their full focus on the EPL very well, becoming a team that was difficult for Liverpool to beat. As a result, a change in top position in the standings was inevitable, Arsenal managed to collect more points thanks to their success in beating Brighton, but Liverpool were still lucky to be in second place in the standings because they had a goal difference with Aston Villa who collected the same number of points. With tight competition in the top four of the standings, United are having difficulty breaking into the top four of the standings, the presence of Manchester City in the bottom position of the UCL zone adds to the toughness of the competition.

There are also two other teams that Ten Hag and his troops need to overtake, Tottenham and Newcastle, to be in the top four of the standings. This is something that Ten Hag must do to reduce all the pressure that comes after being eliminated from the UCL. Moreover, there is no guarantee that any team will settle comfortably in its current position, it is believed that position changes will continue to occur as the season progresses. There is still a chance for United to improve their position, and Liverpool also has the opportunity to overtake Arsenal at the top again.
