Manchester United put in possibly their most impressive performance of the season against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
Ruben Amorim’s side were struggling for a win in the league and were in 14th place before kick-off.
Fans and pundits expected them to lose the game against the Premier League leaders, but they managed to impress at Anfield, despite not winning the game.
The Premier League rivals played out an entertaining 2-2 draw, with Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo scoring for the visitors and Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah replying for the hosts.
However, Amorim has a double injury scare with two of his players starting the game at Anfield.
Journalist for the Manchester Evening News Tyrone Marshall reported on his X account that Rasmus Hojlund was spotted limping after the final whistle at Anfield.
The reporter added that defender Matthijs de Ligt had ice bound to his leg, which should be a major concern for Ruben Amorim and his team.

Man United’s season depends on the fitness of the players
With games fast and intense, the Man United manager would hope to keep his players fit and available.
Manchester United have struggled a lot in recent months and the result at Anfield would have given them confidence to perform better, but they need their players fit and available as the manager likes to rotate to keep the squad fresh.
The festive period is over, but bigger games are about to come for United, who now face Arsenal in the FA Cup at the Emirates Stadium.
Both Amorim and Mikel Arteta are expected to return to the Cup and give some of the supporting players chances.
It would be better for the Red Devils if they could rest Hojlund and De Ligt for the FA Cup game against Arsenal and give chances to Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro early on.
