Manchester United 1-1 Liverpool: 5 men who impressed for the Red Devils

#3 Daniel James

Daniel James caused Liverpool all sorts of problems with his pace and trickery.

The Welshman had a lot of freedom on the pitch thanks to Solskjaer’s change in formation and he made the most of that. Daniel James started in the forward left position but floated across the front-line throughout the game. He worked very hard on the pitch, pressing the Liverpool back-line and closing down the opposition all through the game. The Welshman’s speed caused the away defense quite a few problems as Solskjaer resorted to counter-attacking tactics.

James also had a few chances to score himself but could not get on the scoresheet. However, his overall performance was near perfect, as the Welshman dropped deep, initiated counter-attacks and ran at the opposition defense whenever United gained possession of the ball. His desire and determination enabled United to peg the away side back, as James needed no invitation to bomb forward. From one such run, he set up United’s goal, sending in a delightful cross for Marcus Rashford to score from.
