Erik ten Hag praised his players' attitude and spirit as Manchester United ended a disappointing start to the new Premier League season with an impressive 2-1 win over fierce rivals Liverpool.

A 2-1 loss at home to Brighton on the opening day and followed that up with an abject display in a 4-0 embarrassment away to Brentford to leave United bottom of the table for the first time in 30 years.
Ten Hag's bold selections - Cristiano Ronaldo and captain Harry Maguire were dropped to the bench - paid off handsomely as United's high tempo blitzed Liverpool for the opening 30 minutes.
