Apparently, this game's hype was too much for José Mourinho to handle.
The Special One was harshly criticized by fans and experts for not providing enough thrills to those watching the game against Liverpool, as some of them thought he was too "precautious", to say the least.
The fact that Manchester United's strikers directed only one of their shots on goal infuriated most of their supporters, while blaming Mourinho's tactics for it.
Manchester United's fans are starting to wonder if Mourinho is the right man for the job, as he has only managed to win one of the last five games in the EPL, losing two and drawing two more.
Here's what fans and experts thought about tonight's performance against the Reds.

Only Jose Mourinho could sign Pogba and Zlatan and then decide to play like a 2009 version of Stoke City.

If Mourinho directed Die Hard it'd be 90 minutes of Bruce Willis hiding in a cupboard, then applauding his tactics for not getting shot.

Sunrise, sunset.
Mourinho's fear of losing is greater than his hunger to win.

The quicker fans realise that Mourinho isn't Ferguson, the better. It's going to be gritty and pragmatic, but he does win trophies.
