    Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has been talking to Sky Sports following the result: "The result is not good enough. The performance was not as good as we wanted but, at the end of the day, it was a fair result.

    "We didn't play as we wanted, we conceded too many chances and we had opportunities to score more goals.

    "The effort was there. The mentality was there because we came back.

    "But, when you are 2-1 up at 75 minutes, you have to defend better and we couldn't do it, so we have to think about what we did wrong and move on."

    Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live after the game: "It could have been a lot worse, if we are absolutely honest with ourselves. They had a big chance in the end and that could have been a lot worse than where we are now. I'm definitely disappointed with dropping points at home, but it is what is and we have to move on and we will.

    "We found the 2-1 and then it is about trying to manage the game and keep the ball for longer than three and four passes. We lost the ball too easily at times and then we were more open than we should have been.

    "We are not perfect, we are still learning and we have to learn from this as well."

    On whether they came into the game underestimating Manchester United: "That's all the media - media talk. It's nothing to do with us. We prepared for a very tough game like we have seen today. We didn't think any of that."

    On being in a strong position when you look at the league table: "We look at the next game, we don't look at the league table."
