United beat Liverpool 2-1 on Monday at Old Trafford. A completely different kind of effort compared to the 0-4 loss away to Brentford in the previous round.

The players got angry when they understood what the penalty was, a source told The Mirror.

It is said that Tin Hag’s move increased the coach’s respect.
It’s been a tough run for the players but it’s been worse for Eric and they are affected.

Today’s game
Angel Di Maria’s wife previously made it clear that she was never comfortable in Manchester. In an interview with Argentine television obtained by Metro, she again admitted that the family had chosen to move to England only for the sake of money, adding that the city was “horrible”. In 2014, Di Maria opted to leave Real Madrid for a then-record sum of just over 755 million Swedish kronor.
– I did not want to move there, I told him to go there himself, says Giorgelina Cardoso.
– I didn’t like it at all… People are weird. You’re walking around and you don’t know if they’re going to kill you. The food is disgusting. Women look like porcelain. Angel and I were in Madrid, in the best team in the world, with perfect food, perfect weather, and everything was just fine. Then came the contract offer from United.
Angel Di Maria left England only a year later, to the great happiness of his wife.
