Three Stars: Liverpool’s star men from the 1-1 draw against Manchester United

After a long international break, Liverpool returned to Premier League action with a far from convincing 1-1 draw against Manchester United.

Facing old rivals in United, Jurgen Klopp’s men failed to return to domestic action as they had left off previously in October.

With eight wins from eight to start the season, a draw at Old Trafford on Sunday provided the Reds with their first falter of the campaign.

There’s no hiding it, Klopp’s men failed to turn up on Sunday against a buoyant Manchester United side. With Mo Salah absent through injury, the Reds looked to struggle for attacking options with Divock Origi come in for the Egyptian.

A first-half opener for Manchester United provided Liverpool with a tough task and had to battle right until the end to find an equaliser – through substitute Adam Lallana.

Here, we outline three stars from Sunday’s draw.
