Old Trafford Stadium, home to Manchester United for their home matches.

Now at that stadium, Manchester United host their rivals Liverpool.

But the hosts are in a state of being left behind in terms of score by the visitors.

Both goals were scored by young and new stars brought by Liverpool.

Mbappe scored both goals in the first half.

Currently, his second match held at Old Trafford has also entered the round of 2.

In the 2nd round, Manchester United were completely different.

They are more brave out, but there is still something in common, namely the players are too much and long to hold or control the ball.

This makes the rhythm of the game becomes interrupted and a little late.

Even though if they can be faster, maybe the opportunity that was there they can use to avenge the lag.

Although such errors have not been changed by Manchester United players, Liverpool players are not careless at all.

They are just getting more focused.

They want a clean sheet in this game.

Entering the 72nd minute, Bruno Fernandes gave a pass to Rashford in front.

Where Rashford has been patched tight by Ibrahima Konate.

I don't know what Bruno Fernandes means to give the ball to a player who is being guarded like that.

Rashford also struggled to free a strict escort from Ibrahima Konate.

He tried to hold and defend the ball he was holding despite continued interference by Ibrahima Konate.

Declan Rice certainly saw this, he also ran small towards the two, he could have helped Ibrahima Konate to be faster.

But Declan Rice felt that the ball would not be long away from the possession of Rashford's foot.

Ibrahima Konate, who continued to disturb Rashford, began to move his legs into the gap between Rashford's legs to get rid of the ball from the possession of Rashford's legs.

Rashford also immediately moved the ball because he saw Ibrahima Konate's movements, but he was too confident with his skills.

Ibrahima Konate's movements were a little faster than his.

The ball was also pushed and out of possession of Rashford's legs.

Rashford tried to take the ball again, but it was too late because Declan Rice had already stolen it.

Declan Rice also quickly funneled the ball to the left side on Robertson with a hull pass.

Robertson held the ball using his chest, he then controlled the ball with his feet.

Florian and Aurelien immediately moved to find space to make it easier for Robertson to pass or will accelerate forward later.

While Liverpool's three attacking lines have also moved forward, they are advancing into the Manchester United defence with their heads constantly looking back.

But Sean is different, he moves sideways because he also has to pay attention to the opponent's defensive line because he is afraid of being off side.

As Liverpool's three attacking lines moved forward, Trent Arnold on the other side of Robertson also advanced past the midfield calmly.

Virgil and Ibrahima Konate also immediately widened their positions.

The Manchester United players also tried to close the space for Robertson's pass line.

Manchester United players are not closing people off from Liverpool, because he thinks it will be more difficult and tiring.

Because the movement of Liverpool players is fast and agile, so it is better to keep the ball track because it will drain a little stamina.

Robertson also looked forward and around while dribbling slowly.

When Jadon Sancho, a Manchester United Winger, pressed Robertson, Robertson suddenly accelerated forward through the midfield line.

Jadon Sancho who did the pressing was also only able to gawk because he had just approached but suddenly Robertson moved.

He then attempted to chase after the accelerating Robertson.

But due to his delay, Robertson also gave the ball to Florian.

Meanwhile, the ball was in the possession of Florian who made a short pass with Aurelien trying to attract the attention of the opponent.

Bruno Fernandes as a midfielder also tried to seize the ball, but when he chased the ball on the pass to other players, when other midfielders helped Bruno Fernandes, the same treatment was also done.

As it continues like that, the Manchester United players are also a little brave and more outgoing.

They immediately put on aggressive press.

But Florian is very clever, he immediately passes the ball back past Virgil.

He passed it on to Alison.

Alison also had the ball calmly waiting for the Manchester United players to progress.

Rashford also knew that this was just to draw the other players forward, he chose to wait.

But who would have thought, it was Virgil approached Alison and did the two passes.

It's a very bad act.

That way, Rashfor, Bruno Fernandes also immediately ran forward.

Fred the Manchester United midfielder is also a bit more advanced, Jadon Sancho is also keeping Robertson's side for fear of the ball on pass to Robertson's side.

But when the Manchester United players were advancing, Alison arrived to take a long kick forward.

The ball also passed through the midfield, it led to Joao Felix.

Joao Felix is also ready to receive the ball even though he is on tight patch.

His hand Joao Felix held the opponent's pants in which the opposing defender pressed his body against Felix's back.

Felix advanced a bit and did control the ball with his chest, he then controlled it again with his feet, holding the ball and turning his back on the opponent's goal.

Aurelien immediately moved closer, as Aurelien moved closer like that, Sean and Mbappe immediately advanced and stabbed in.

They are not on the side of the field anymore.

Along with that movement, Trent also advanced on the right side beyond Aurelien's position.

Felix regained consciousness and immediately passed to Aurelien.

Another Manchester United player immediately ran after the ball that was heading for Aurelien.

But Aurelien did not control the ball first, he chose to pass directly on Trent on the right side.

Trent also accepted it and directly herded a little forward.

When he has entered the ideal position or distance to feed he slows down his tilt.

The Manchester United players also knew the quality of the pass from Trent so they closed immediately, but when they closed, it was Trent who passed on Florian who approached Trent.

Distracted by his focus, the player immediately ran at Florian, but he really did die a step.

As he moved to Florian, the ball was already back on Trent through behind him.

Trent makes 12 passes with Florian.

Trent, who has free space, also immediately made a pass into the penalty box.

Inside the penalty box, there are 3 Manchester United defenders, while Liverpool only 2 players.

It was Sean and Mbappe.

Mbappe moved closer on the left-hand side of the goalkeeper trying to pick up the ball.

That way the defenders also follow Mbappe.

Other defenders keep Sean and 1 more will cut the ball if later the ball will move on Sean.

When the ball entered the penalty box, Sean moved with a sudden arrival.

He tried to pick up the ball.

The player guarding him also immediately followed him.

When the ball was close, Sean immediately began to kick, the defender also immediately did a tackle to close the shooting room from Sean.
