Liverpool's beginning to the season has been appalling, with just two focuses from two games. Recently at Old Trafford, it was business as usual as Ten Hag's men assumed command over a significant region of the pitch. We'll go over where the game was dominated and lost exhaustively.
Here are the main reason’s we think Liverpool lost to Manchester united on Monday night:
The absence of Mane

It is no secret that Liverpool are missing their former Senegalese winger/striker, Sadio Mane. After the recent loss at old Trafford, a lot of Liverpool fans went lamenting on twitter that they are missing Sadio Mane. Fans via virtual entertainment asserted Mane was conveying Liverpool, and this is the means by which they responded on Twitter after the loss to Manchester United. Liverpool isn't anything without Sadio Mane. No doubt Mane has been an essential player in Liverpool’s team for a long time.
Since Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah were oftentimes excessively wide and Roberto Firmino was too profound, even first rate moves seldom tracked down their direction to a player in a really risky position.
A genuine late scramble for the success never emerged, as gamesmanship and time squandering prevailed over a baffled and rushed Liverpool offense.
Poor midfield:

Liverpool had the option to pass the ball around the back line, however the midfield triplet of Milner, Henderson, and Elliot couldn't track down the objective men of Salah, Diaz, and Firmino.
Since they were so inadequate in midfield, Firmino had to drop back, making a faction among himself and the forward line.
In spite of having 71% of the ball, Liverpool neglected to enroll a shot on objective in the primary half. Joined looked sharp when they had the ball and moved it around rapidly and effectively. Sancho's most memorable objective, following 16 minutes, was a perfect representation of this.
In the 59th moment, Fabinho replaces Henderson and quickly infuses quality into the game. Fabio Carvalho replaces a drained and unsatisfying Milner following 73 minutes. Subsequently, Carvalho's shot is redirected into the way of Mohamed Salah, who conveniently heads the ball home for Liverpool's sole objective. This was a game that featured the requirement for an infusion of ability in the midfield.
We might dare to dream that Jurgen Klopp saw what we saw and applies a quick upgrade in tactics and discipline.

This is one of the most crucial advantage in any game, especially a tough one. The fans of Manchester united overtook the whole atmosphere and didn’t leave room for a single chant for the fans of the Reds.
The chants and encouragement from the fans motivated the players.
They underestimated Manchester united:
It’s no secret that Manchester united has been in a very disastrous form. Everyone knows the embarrassing situation of Manchester united, so Liverpool thought it’ll be a piece of cake. They weren’t that serious at first.
It was when the first goal got scored that the reds(Liverpool) got serious, they thought they were still going to win. No doubt Manchester united struggled a lot. At the end the reds got what they didn’t expect, they lost.Lisandro Martinez:

This guy performed the most among all Manchester united players.
Man United were not especially great. They didn't compel the Reds to commit errors; all things considered, they sat high and wide and hung tight for them to occur. Effectively. Then, at that point, they committed their own errors, putting two shots on objective, however were saved by a fortunate Lisandro Martinez.
Despite the fact that he isn’t that tall, he put up an outstanding performance. And to be frank, he was my man of the match.
