Manchester United 2, Liverpool 1: A Lack of Class

United 2: Rooney 47′ 49′
Liverpool 1: Suarez 80′

United get a deserved victory on the strength of a Wayne Rooney brace, taking advantage of a lifeless performance in the second half from a Liverpool side that were wholly disappointing. Given the occasion and atmosphere you'd have expected Liverpool to at least show up, but on the day they lacked any sense of urgency, purpose or desire.
