- LISTEN NOW: It's all starting! New line-up, some new faces, but optimism has faded at Old Trafford
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has questioned Matthijs de Ligt's actions in the incident that led to Liverpool's penalty against the Red Devils.
Rubén Amorim's team improved a lot in their matchup against the league leader and took a surprising lead right after the break.
But the Reds responded with a goal from Cody Gakpo before having a chance to take the lead from the penalty spot. Referee Michael Oliver awarded a penalty after an on-field review following De Ligt's handball.
And Neville questioned why the Dutch defender had his hands raised in the first place.
“I think I might be in trouble,” he said on Sky Sports. 'When your arm is up there. If you have your arm up like that on the box, you're looking for a big problem. I don't know why his hand is there.
“That's the case where you don't get your way and he won't get his way.”
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher, who was also a match commentator, agreed, adding: “It's turning around actually.”
Salah stepped up to put the home team in front in a match in which the team could extend its lead at the top to eight points, following draws by Arsenal and Chelsea on Saturday.
