In my opinion, losing just because it shows playing at Old Trafford or an away match cannot be used as a strong reason because everything starts from the performance in the end.
Indeed, playing away sometimes provides great pressure for a club including that Liverpool but it cannot be used as a strong reason because after all it doesn't really make sense considering everything that happens is back to performance.
I believe the fact that the game was played in Old Trafford can be given as a strong reason Liverpool lost that game. We all know the advantage teams get from playing at home and how it is for rival teams to play in enemy territory. We may deny it all we want but that factor is always there.
I agree Liverpool played well despite playing away from home, but do you think Man United would have played that well if they were at Anfield? Playing in Old Trafford gave United an extra layer of confidence and confidence does a lot to a player. So yeah, the home advantage is a reason as to why Man United won the game.
Now, there's a pretty big chance of Manchester United getting to the final because they play Coventry next in the semis. They have a very big chance to win Coventry and get to the final and anything can happen in a final. It would mean a lot to Manchester United if they can win a trophy this season after the poor season they've had. A trophy would turn their season around.
Liverpool clearly dominated That game, it was more like they where scoring and Manchester United where equalizing, I don't think home advantage played any role in favour of Manchester United in that game because Liverpool clearly dominated. Even the last minute goal that was scored by diallo for me was just pure luck.
It will be pretty nice for Eric Ten hag to win this cup but looking at the obstacles in front them and considering Manchester United inconsistently in delivery, I still have some doubt in my mind if they will come out victorious at the end.
