The Red Devils put on a vastly improved performance against their great rivals and grabbed a thoroughly deserved victory, their first of the season. Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford grabbed their first goals of the campaign to put United two up against a woeful Liverpool. The Reds pulled one back through Mohamed Salah late on. Manchester United@ManUtdWHAT. A. WIN! #MUFC #MUNLIV6532515813WHAT. A. WIN! #MUFC #MUNLIV Erik ten Hag's side ultimately held on for a crucial three points, largely thanks to a dogged defensive display. Martinez has been ridiculed for his performances so far since his summer move from Ajax, especially following his disastrous display against Brentford, where United conceded four first-half goals. The centre-back was hooked at half-time against the Bees as he was bullied in the air. Martinez's height has also been questioned following his move, but he put on an outstanding display to keep the likes of Roberto Firmino and Luis Diaz quiet on Monday. The Argentine was partnered by Raphael Varane at the center of the Manchester United defense as club captain Harry Maguire was dropped to the bench. Martinez looked calm and composed on the ball while also being determined and disciplined out of possession to keep Liverpool at bay. Following the full-time whistle, supporters took to Twitter to praise the Argentine defender's performance: ??? ???? @TheEuropeanLadLisandro Martínez didn't become one of my favorite players at Ajax just because he's so good, but even more so because he shows zero mercy in duels and will "kill" to win.Especially in the big games, which he is proving tonight.169321607Lisandro Martínez didn't become one of my favorite players at Ajax just because he's so good, but even more so because he shows zero mercy in duels and will "kill" to win.Especially in the big games, which he is proving tonight.

But the England winger took his goal brilliantly, maintaining his composure to beat James Milner with a feint and then slotting the ball past Alisson. Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Sancho stated (as per BBC Sport): "It means a lot. Our first two games didn't go so well and had it turn it around today. Last week hurt a lot and we knew we had to bounce back and tonight we showed the fans what we can do. "I didn't realise how much time I had, but once I dropped the defender I needed the composure to finish. It means a lot to all of us, you can see how the fans are reacting. We got the three points but on to the next one." He added: "We just have to produce like today in every single game. Happy we got the three points and we move on."Premier League@premierleagueIs this win the start of something special for @ManUtd? #MUNLIV @Sanchooo1054243Is this win the start of something special for @ManUtd? #MUNLIV @Sanchooo10 https://t.co/0F5lpPVJ8D Manchester United moved up to 14th in the table with the win and will face Southampton next, on August 27.
