what does he mean? Well, in his pre-match press conference at Carrington last Friday, he mentioned something like this: 'The right attitude' and 'Fighting on the field'. He got it on Monday night as United rushed to allow Jurgen Klopp from the first minute until the end of the match. The Reds played some great things on the ball, but it was just aggression and greed that delighted the grumpy Old Trafford fans the most.
The stats show that United ran 114km per match - nearly 20km more than Brentford a week ago - than Liverpool, who have been widely praised for their strength in the past few years. Ten Haig's players also fell into 24 Liverpool playing tackles in 13. We also made more internationals (18-14), underscoring the players' all-out efforts to restart our season after two painful losses.
But don't fool yourself into thinking United stopped the bus just to keep going: xG (expected goals) of 1.7 outnumbered 1.5 for Liverpool. Simply put, it means we create better chances than the Merseyside team. Anthony Ilanga faces Alisson in a singles match Early on, Marcus Rashford narrowly missed scoring in two excellent attempts in the second quarter. We understandably went deep and ceded possession as Liverpool searched for an unlikely path back into the game in the latter stages. But it was clear that United were the most threatening team that advanced throughout the match.

The data shows Lisandro Martinez has 41 touches, 3 grabs, 7 passes, and 1 block.
But what they didn't say was the passion and enthusiasm behind the numbers. Martinez treats it as if his life depended on it, and his aggressive style obviously upset James Milner and Mohamed Salah, but only opposing players.
