Manchester United transfer news LIVE Ronaldo and Pogba latest plus reaction to Liverpool FC defeat

Manchester United were on the wrong end of yet another embarrassing defeat on Tuesday as they were hammered 4-0 by Liverpool.

The result means United have lost by an aggregate score of 9-0 to their great rivals this season following the 5-0 defeat they suffered at Old Trafford in October. The biggest gap in scoreline between the two clubs over a single campaign by far, with the previous record being five.

A Mohamed Salah double as well as strikes from Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane sealed the win in what was another embarrassing display from Ralf Rangnick's side, which even being without Cristiano Ronaldo, Fred, Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw and Edinson Cavani can't excuse.

To make matters worse, United lost Paul Pogba to injury in the opening 10 minutes and depending on the severity of his ailment United could be left with just one senior midfield option for the weekend's trip to Arsenal in Nemanja Matic, though Scott McTominay is close to a return to action.
