Yes Manchester United did apply a defensive tactics against Liverpool, but i don’t see that to be disgraceful if you ask me. They we’re scenarios were you analyze matches me and then you look at how strong your team is and then make a tactical plan on that. Manchester United has never won at Anfield since 2018 and the last time they played there was an humiliating 7-0 defeats. This season again Liverpool hasn’t lost a match at their home, so I don’t see it that way. This draw will moralize the team to build on it. Had they lost bad again as you all predicted I think it will be good for their season. Even this so called Liverpool were once parking the bus against United when united were ruling the land
A tough game for Erik Ten Hag and he still manages to survived the long run, sometimes I wonder how he do it because he's not even up to the level of Jurgen Klopp when it comes to coaching, Erik Ten Hag is consider one of these random mediocre coaches in EPL apart from his players who do their best to fit in. A defensive strategy was the only solid path that stopped Liverpool from netting a goal for the first time this season at Anfield. They werre dissapointed to draw points with Manchester United who was not in good form, they played like average club and couldn't hold the ball for possible range of 3 minutes without losing it to the hosts.
