Man Utd beat Liverpool to secure Champions League place
MANCHESTER: Manchester United secured Champions League football next season as Kobbie Mainoo’s strike earned a thrilling 3-2 victory over old rivals Liverpool on Sunday. United were 2-0 up inside 15 minutes through Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko, but imploded after the break to allow Arne Slot’s men to level with goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo before Mainoo secured the win.

Despite an 11th league defeat of the season, Liverpool likely need only three points from their three remaining games to also secure a place in the Champions League. Slot’s side arrived at Old Trafford depleted without the injured forward trio of Mohamed Salah, Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak. United sensed blood and were well worth their early two-goal lead. Cunha was afforded two chances to find his range from the edge of the box to open the scoring. The Brazilian’s strike flicked off Alexis MacAllister to give Liverpool’s third-choice goalkeeper Freddie Woodman no chance. The waves of United
