Maguire: That was nowhere near good enough

United captain Harry Maguire was on post-match interview duties for his side and apologised to the supporters.

He said: “First and foremost, apologies to the fans, it’s nowhere near good enough for this club. 

“[The supporters] stuck with us right to the end, even when it was 5-0, they were singing, and we appreciate that. It wasn’t good enough. 

“I think in the first half it was too open, I’m not here to analyse the game, we gave them too many chances, they were clinical, we had a lot of chances ourselves…defensively to concede four in a half of football is not good enough. 

“To lose to Liverpool hurts. They way that we lost the game, it’s not good enough. We’re working as hard as possible but at the moment it’s not good enough.”

Carragher: It doesn’t get better than that for Liverpool fans

Sky commentator Carragher added: “I’m not trying to be clever, but I don’t think Liverpool were at their absolute best. 

“Whenever they made passes, and got in and around the back four – it’s a joke of a back four the way they’re playing at the moment – they were just a mess, Keystone Cops type defending. 

“Drink this in. You can hear the [Liverpool] supporters, it’ll never get better than that.”
