Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has admitted Liverpool deserved to win on Thursday night. Jurgen Klopp’s men left Old Trafford with a 4-2 win in what was a thrilling affair.
United took the lead after Bruno Fernandes’s shot was deflected past Alisson Becker, before Diogo Jota made it 1-1.
Roberto Firmino grabbed a brace either side of half time to restore the two-goal advantage, before Marcus Rashford pulled one back.
However, Mohammed Salah escaped down the right to finish confidently pass Dean Henderson.
“They deserved the win. We conceded goals in key moments of the game. We didn’t build on the momentum or break up their momentum. We gave them at least two goals really. Then we scored again, had a massive chance. Key moments went against us,” Solskjaer said.

Solskjaer also admitted that they missed Harry Maguire during their 4-2 defeat to Liverpool on Thursday night.
The Reds won for the first time at Old Trafford since 2014, thanks to a Roberto Firmino double and strikes from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah.
Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford scored for United.
Maguire sat out the second successive game due to an ankle injury, with the defence conceding four times in his absence.
“Harry [Maguire] has been really important for us so of course, we’re going to miss him but he’s out so we have to deal with that.
“It’s about regrouping and building our own confidence again as we have two games and a final.
“Tuesday. We need to find ourselves straight away. We need to build that momentum and confidence. We should go into that final ready,” Solskjaer told Sky Sports.
