MANCHESTER UNITED RESULTS
Manchester United vs Liverpool, 24th October, 2009
Despite a rather attacking game play spearheaded by Liverpool, right since the start of play, it doesn’t seem things are going their way yet. Great attacking strategies from the Liverpool forwards, and the Man Utd defense is put to test very early on. Rooney does make a great lone effort but it turns out to be an offside, only very slight, but an excellent call from the linesman.
