Yes, you are right, this draw is a good result for Manchester United, because before this match many people predicted that Liverpool would take revenge when they lost in the FA Cup, but once again Manchester United was able to prevent that and managed to hold Liverpool to a draw in this match. This is actually a bad result for Liverpool because with this defeat Liverpool had to return to second place in the standings even though they only lost in goal productivity.
I actually appreciate Manchester United's performance a little in this match, because they managed to make it difficult for Liverpool and they were even almost able to win the match even though they were the first to concede a goal in the first half.
Manchester United is an inconsistent team, sometimes they play well, sometimes just so-so and they even play beyond expectations. It's very strange to see them show inconsistency throughout the season, even though this has been happening for seasons.

Klopp said after the match that they had never played as well against Manchester United as in the last two matches between them, but they failed to beat them in either of them, so just playing well is not always enough. In the first half, Liverpool were very good, but in the second half, one mistake turned the tide of the match, Fernandes scored a goal that will be remembered for a long time, and it would be a shame if in the end this mistake becomes the reason, that Liverpool is one point short of becoming champions.
I agree with you that Liverpool has more chances of scoring more than a goal in the first half as according to stats it showed they had 15 goal attempts with 4 on target and I'd have to say Onana helped the team. For me, Bruno Fernandes goal wasn't as spectacular as that of Kobbie Mainoo except one will say the Portuguese helped restore hope to Erik's side with the goal else, it's nothing to be compared with the teenager's. If my memory serves me right, this should have been the third or fourth time, Kobbie is coming through for them and if the scoreline had ended 2-1, his goal would have come off as the best so far in this month of April.
 Jurgen expressed his displeasure at the goal because to him he felt Virgil and his teammates just left a big pocket of space for the teenager to score. Man UTD was good by stopping them from getting the three points but Jurgen believes if they play like this with Arsenal, the Gunners will sorely thrash them and even though Erik believes his team had improved, Roy Keane feels that's hogwash and not a mindset of someone who wants to make it to the champions league next season.
