'The 1958' group led the demonstration on Monday night, where thousands of supporters marched towards Old Trafford.

The message on another flag read: ‘We want our club back’, while smoke from flares filled the air and there was plenty of anti-Glazer chanting. ‘United for $ale’ read a banner stretched across the front of the crowd that moved slowly and loudly towards Old Trafford, with more supporters joining en route. Supporters are at their wits’ end with the controversial owners, and recently-formed group ‘The 1958’ led the latest demonstration against the Americans before kick-off.

Dissatisfaction with the Glazer family's ownership has some of the team's fans urging supporters to boycott Monday night's game.

The 1958, named after the year of a plane crash in Munich that killed nine United players, is one of the key groups leading the campaign to oust the American billionaires. They’re urging supporters to stop buying merchandise and official packages, use anti-Glazer hashtags as frequently as possible and damage the family’s business links. But this evening’s encounter in Manchester will be viewed as much for events off the field as on it.

Erik ten Hag said Cristiano Ronaldo still has a future under him at Manchester United despite dropping the striker for the victory over Liverpool.

[Southampton](/soccer/team?id=376) on Saturday. We need a squad because we have many games to cover so we make a team out of the squad, we stick together as a squad and we achieve a lot. We have more players who have already won trophies in their career. "His age is not an issue. "I think he can," said the United manager, who brought Ronaldo on as a substitute in the 86th minute. "The whole of his career under several managers he did, several styles and systems.

Manchester United claimed a 2-1 victory over old rivals Liverpool following their worst start to a Premier League season in over a century.

A mistake by Jordan Henderson allowed substitute Anthony Martial to send Rashford clear and the England forward kept his cool to slot past Alisson in the 53rd minute for his first league goal since January. United's win for their first points of the campaign, thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, left Juergen Klopp's Liverpool without a victory from their opening three games and with just two points. Manchester United produced an unexpected 2-1 victory over old rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford following protests against their American owners and after their worst start to a Premier League season in over a century.

Cheers for the new signing before victory over Liverpool were drowned out by chants of 'We want Glazers out'

Fernandes was prominent throughout, looking to release Marcus Rashford behind an uncertain Liverpool defence at the earliest opportunity and revelling in the space between Klopp’s midfield and central defence. Liverpool could have over-ran United’s central midfield of Eriksen and Scott McTominay with an extra man and Roberto Firmino regularly dropping into the hole between them. At least Casemiro will have been encouraged by the intensity and flashes of quality that underpinned his new club’s win over Jürgen Klopp’s side. United have committed to spend an eye-watering total of £142.8m on the 30-year-old — a fee rising to £70m plus a four-year contract worth £350,000-a-week — and the sums involved in luring the midfielder from a glittering nine-year career at the Bernabeu signal the desperation at Old Trafford. Their merited victory rounded off a hectic and head-spinning day for Casemiro who, having bid a tearful farewell to Real Madrid in the morning, arrived at Old Trafford several hours before kick off to take in his new environment. United’s first win of the season at least dragged attention back to where it should always be.

Man Utd have paid Real Madrid an initial £60m plus £10m in add-ons for Casemiro, who has signed a four-year contract with the option of a further 12 months ...

"He wants to try a new challenge, a new opportunity. "I have to say, I think he'll do well for a couple years for the club, Casemiro. "The club has always treated me very well. At his farewell Real Madrid press conference, the Brazilian insisted his move to United is not motivated by money. "Every other club is really precise, you don't see them pinging around like a pinball in the transfer market, from one to the other. He is getting a long-term contract with a lot of money, it's the same with [Christian] Eriksen getting a three-year deal.

The Manchester United manager said after his team's 2-1 win: 'It's all about attitude. You can see what they can achieve'

“We have no issue,” he said. We have good players, but now we can be a team.” “Casemiro, Varane and Ronaldo have won trophies and will guide the younger players, I hope their presence will be a huge stimulation to the rest.

Manchester United have completed the signing of Casemiro from Real Madrid, with the Brazil midfielder penning a contract until June 2026 with the option of ...

"The opportunity to start a new challenge at Manchester United and in the Premier League is extremely exciting," Casemiro told the club website. "I have worked with many great managers in my career and, having met with Erik (ten Hag) and heard his ideas, I can't wait to work closely with him, his staff and my new team mates in the coming years." Manchester United have completed the signing of Casemiro from Real Madrid, with the Brazil midfielder penning a contract until June 2026 with the option of another year.

Man United fans made their voices heard with pre-game protests while the team did their talking on the pitch, dispatching Liverpool in fine fashion.

[Southampton](/soccer/team?id=376) (Aug. Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp's side get little time to rest before a pair of Premier League games over the next 10 days, with Bournemouth (Aug. We can't keep this going on out there: it is easy to talk about it in the changing room but we have to go out and do it. Nunez showed great promise prior to his red card against [Crystal Palace](/soccer/team?id=384) and the injury picture will ease before long, but two points from their opening three games will heighten pressure on Liverpool to enter the market before deadline day -- perhaps most obviously in midfield, where they were out-fought and out-thought by United. Man United in all competitions, the most in club history, breaking a tie with Steven Gerrard. We got the three points but on to the next one. [Report: Man United thump Liverpool](/soccer/report?gameId=638225) [Mohamed Salah](http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/173896/Mohamed-Salah) scored a consolation inside the final 10 minutes to give the hosts some nervous moments, but the victory is vindication for United boss Erik ten Hag as he tries to turn around a club in disarray. [Highlights and notable moments](#highlights) [Best/worst performers](#bestworst) He is only the tenth United player to reach that landmark. Dropping both your club captain and your iconic centre-forward for a game of this magnitude takes some self-belief, but United lined up without Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo for the first time since Jan.

Marcus Rashford scored the decisive goal, as Erik ten Hag's men produced an unexpected result at Old Trafford.

Goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford for Manchester United against Liverpool announced the start of the Erik Ten Hag era at Old Trafford.

Manchester United play host to Liverpool at Old Trafford in Manchester, UK. The demonstration is set to begin at 7pm but huge groups of fans are already congregating at the planned meeting spot. It's a really slick exchange around the Liverpool box that leads to Sancho picking it up in the box and he shows brilliant composure to sit Alisson and Milner down simultaneously before passing the ball home. 7th min: Liverpool lose it in a deep position and Alexander-Arnold fouls Rashford in attempting to get back in. The match will be streamed in English on NBC platform Peacock. Liverpool lose the ball in midfield and Rashford is on his bike straight away to latch onto a pass in behind. On leaving Cristiano Ronaldo out, he said: "We know Liverpool are a really good team and you need to press them. The youngster looks to have done everything right in opening his body for curling, inside-of-the-foot finish but it comes agonisingly back off the post. Could we see movement on that front over the next couple of weeks? HALFTIME: Manchester United leading by a single goal at the break and they fully deserve their lead. Alisson is out to make himself big, but the Mancunian striker makes no mistake with a cool finish into the bottom corner. If there is one area of the pitch Liverpool fans would most like to see reinforced before the end of the transfer window, it is undoubtedly midfield.

Read a summary of Jürgen Klopp's post-match press conference after Liverpool's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Monday night.

Obviously we were not good enough to win the game but I think we all know that if we score here in any situations an equaliser, it would not have been the biggest surprise in the world, so it's a deserved draw after a start where United looked sharper than us – but that was not too long and in the situation I think a little bit to expect. We could start with two if we would have more attackers but we have only three attackers, so it means we start with three and then we change during the game and it's like how we want to start. It's not perfect but good enough to play better tonight, and I think our situation is good enough that we could've won the game tonight if we would have played slightly better. Look, we can talk about all the things but in the end I saw tonight a game. And how we want to change, we have to think before the game and that's the only reason for it. No, we have in the moment five senior midfielders and we have to start with three. It was 2-1 because time ran out because and we had not the clear-cut chances in the last two or three minutes anymore because the watch just ran down without real football because of different situations. Against so many legs in the defence, it is not easy to create now every 20 seconds a new chance, but we had a lot of moments in the box. I realise now, I didn’t even see it, but I think it [the question] is about an argument on the pitch or whatever, shouting at each other and these kind of things. No, it is a game where everything was clear, everything was on the table. In the beginning there, it was wild, up and down and these kind of things and they had their chance when they hit the post. It was exactly the game United wanted to play and you can say that is our fault if you want.

Jamie Carragher has described Liverpool's performance in their 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford as "embarrassing" and "shocking".

"That can't be a one-off. I didn't think Manchester United were capable. I don't know what it is but I cannot believe what I have witnessed. "I don't know what's happened this week on the training ground, but they've responded. "The fight, spirit and energy from Manchester United was brilliant. "Liverpool were absolutely shocking defensively.

Ahead of the Liverpool game, Erik ten Hag was keen to put tactics to one side and talk about his Manchester United team delivering “the basic stuff”.

The Old Trafford crowd can accept losing, but it cannot accept a lack of effort and desire. But what they don’t spell out is the passion and bite behind those numbers. It was the manner in which United went about the evening's business that really seemed to rouse the raucous crowd. As Liverpool sought an unlikely route back into the game during the closing stages, we understandably dropped deeper and ceded possession. The Reds played some great stuff on the ball, but what seemed to most please a vociferous Old Trafford crowd was the simple aggression and graft on show. What did he mean?

Raphael Varane has said Manchester United new signing Casemiro has backed his former Real Madrid teammate to be a success at Old Trafford.

"It's difficult to explain why but we didn't start the games with the same intensity, with the same fighting spirit," Varane added. "It's a similar process that I had so obviously I wish him the best and I'm speaking with him a lot, but he didn't need me to make his choice." "He needs a new challenge, I know exactly what he feels, and I know exactly why he chose this club. "I know perfectly his quality, he can bring this balance to the team and his mentality," Varane said.

Elanga, who replaced Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting eleven, looked like a player possessed, constantly pressing Alexander-Arnold.

Elanga, who replaced Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting eleven, looked like a player possessed, constantly pressing Alexander-Arnold, who looked out of sorts, and winning the duels. Six minutes later, he turned provider to the Jadon Sancho opener. Now you see we bring the attitude. That United had not scored a goal off their own in nearly 190 minutes—the one against Brighton was an own goal—aptly reflected the toothlessness of their front-line. The full-backs—Tyrell Malacia, who had displaced the lacklustre Luke Shaw, and Diogo Dalot—too were exceptional in curbing the menace of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson. But the performance against Liverpool was as resolute a rearguard they had produced in recent times. A technically gifted centre-back, he contributed to the opening goal too, stealing the ball off Bobby Firmino and belting it upfield, besides his cool tackling and composure in duress. Often, Sancho has looked ponderous—this goal could change it. They lacked ingenuity, physicality and presence of mind. Once Casemiro takes McTominay’s place, Eriksen could be all the more influential a presence. So much so that they were a team unrecognisable from the shambles they were against Brentford last week. Manchester United were a team transformed against Liverpool.

This failure to bolster the centre of the park, as well as a number of summer departures from Anfield, has ultimately led to a sense that the squad that has started this season is weaker than the one that finished the last. Of course, even if that is indeed the case, it feels like an oversight not to do more to bring in one of the two midfielders this team already needs in order to get their adaptation process underway. And most frustratingly of all, the shortfall in terms of both availability and quality in that area of the pitch that led to this state of affairs had been foreseen by the majority of supporters before a ball was kicked this season.

Injury problems and an ageing team, Sadio Mane gone and some worrying running stats. What is the story at Liverpool? Here, we take a look at the challenges ...

Liverpool have been smart in their efforts to evolve the squad, bringing in young and hungry talent as others pass that peak age of performance. The previous two were not lost - in fact, the previous 21 were not lost - but there is a trend emerging. For now, he can point to what he calls the witch's curse but how many of them might be here to stay even if he has a full squad available? Darwin Nunez, the new signing from Benfica, is a natural centre-forward and can be expected to make a difference in this regard. That was enough when the front three were firing but the make up of this Liverpool side is a little different in attack now too. His goal against Crystal Palace was magnificent but he is not finding the positions that his predecessor did. He can be a poacher inside the six-yard box and his return from injury adds options and intensity in attack. There were some neat touches against Manchester United but they came nowhere near the penalty box and that puts a huge onus on the wide forwards to score goals. There is more to the game than running, of course. There was a time when Liverpool used to play with that intensity but not right now. It was exactly the game that United wanted to play.” Here, we take a look at the challenges facing Jurgen Klopp after their 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford
