The Red Devils legend, 84, was at the Theatre of Dreams prior to yesterday’s crunch Premier League kick-off.
He was not around to watch Kobbie Mainoo, the man Michael Carrick this week said “epitomised” United, who was the hero against Liverpool again.
It was Mainoo’s first goal of the season and to cap one of the most memorable weeks of his young career.
With Mainoo’s future put to bed with a five-year contract announced on Thursday, Mainoo put United back in the Champions League.
For a game between these rivals that had little riding on it, they produced one of the most absorbing Premier League spectacles of the season.
United completed a first double over Liverpool in ten years, opening up a six-point gap.
Liverpool’s Champions League status is still not mathematically secured but their second-half response suggests Arne Slot can still get a tune out of his underachievers.
That will be of little consolation to their 3,000 supporters who were locked in and forced to endure heckles from United fans.
United went from running amok to being on the run against Liverpool. — The Sun
