Man United fans angry at the direction of the club took part in a protest outside Old Trafford ahead of the match against Liverpool.

The Glazers pledged to rebuild trust with United fans in the wake of that protest, but there has been little evidence of that.

Manchester United secured a first Premier League win of the Erik ten Hag era with a deserved 2-1 triumph over Liverpool at Old Trafford.

– Man United 2-1 Liverpool. – Man United 2-0 Liverpool. – Man United 1-0 Liverpool. 10’ – MAN UNITED CHANCE! 53’ – GOAL! 16’ – GOAL!

'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.

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.

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.

Goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford earn a precious win over arch-rivals Liverpool.

Then look out for 90 in 20, our 20-minute extended package and the game in full to enjoy at your leisure. Liverpool pulled a goal back late on, as De Gea parried sub Fabio Carvalho’s effort into the path of Mo Salah who squeezed in a header to set the game up for a nervy finish. The England international kept his calm going one-v-one against Alisson to bury the ball into the back of the net. Despite relentless attacking from the opposition, United’s backline - especially Raphael Varane and Martinez - combined well to keep them at bay. Despite being faced with multiple defenders, Sancho showed great composure to deceive James Milner and finish beyond Alisson to fire the reds ahead. Anthony Elanga came close to opening the scoring inside 10 minutes.

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.

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.

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.

“We need a squad, because we have many games to cover, and so, if we make a team out of the squad and we stick together as a squad then we can achieve a lot. “We have a squad and then we have a way of play, a style, but also, a game-plan, and you look what is the best approach to the game, and that is what we did today,” Ten Hag said. Ten Hag was rewarded for his decision to field a frontline of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Anthony Elanga, as Sancho and Rashford found the net on Monday to secure a first win for United’s Dutch manager.

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.
