Liverpool 1-9 Man Utd (Academy) 6th April 2024
That was an actual scoreline by the way, and not a reference to Klopp’s 1 Premier League Title in the 9 seasons he was at Liverpool.
Just as Real Madrid are World renowned for their European Cups (they won the first 5), Manchester United are World renowned for their youth system (we won the first 5 FA Youth Cup’s, produced two Ballon d’Or winners from our youth system in Charlton and Best, and have had ‘A player from our youth development levels included in each and every one of our first-team matchday squads since October 1937’ - https://www.manutd.com/en/academy/history).
The match between United’s Academy and Liverpool’s, produced a truly remarkable scoreline. For our Academy players to produce that performance at the training ground of Liverpool’s first team, added extra gloss to an already brilliant result for our youth team players.
Man Utd 4-3 Liverpool (Men’s first team) 17th March 2024
The media talk in the build up to this Old Trafford, St. Patrick’s Day, FA Cup Quarter-Final fixture was contrasting for both teams.
All of the talk regarding United was about the stadium, and whether the iconic ‘Theatre of Dreams’ should be redeveloped or a new stadium built altogether. Any United historians would have known that the opening fixture at Old Trafford was way back in 1910, and against Liverpool, on a day that saw the away team win the fixture 4-3
All of the talk regarding Liverpool going into this Cup match was about their quest for a ‘Quadruple’, with a visit to Dublin for the Europa League Final already on their wish list, and them wanting to win the FA Cup in Klopp’s final season also on their wish list too...
I have seen Manchester United score late winning goals in the past, most memorably in ’99, and more recently in a match after the referee had already whistled for the end of the game! (See Brighton away in 2020 when Fernandes scored a winning penalty with the last kick of the match, before the referee blew the final whistle for a second time).
When Amad Diallo scored the winning goal against Liverpool in added on time (at the end of extra time), it was an incredible way to win the match.
We then progressed past a spirited Coventry team in the Semi-Final, and we then went on to win the Final against Manchester City, who were:
For our Academy graduates Garnacho and Mainoo to have been the players who scored the goals in the Final, was incredible.
Liverpool 7-0 Man Utd (Men’s first team) 5th March 2023
If someone had said before it happened, that Liverpool would go 7 consecutive Premier League matches (between January 2005 and March 2008) without scoring a goal against Manchester United, no-one would have believed so.
If someone had said before it happened, that Liverpool would score 7 goals in a Premier League match against Manchester United, no-one would have believed so.
Both happened.
In the seasons that United kept 7 consecutive league clean sheets against Liverpool, United collected two Premier League titles, in 2007 and 2008
In the season that Liverpool scored 7 goals in a league match against United, Liverpool collected nothing.

Man Utd 6-0 Liverpool (Women’s team) 15th January 2023
Going into the match, United’s women’s team had not conceded a goal in the first half of any league fixture so far that season. Not only did that run continue, but they also shut out Liverpool for the whole of the match, and recorded 6 goals while doing so; with García, Russo, Ladd, Thomas, and Williams getting on the scoresheet, along with an own goal scored by Liverpool’s player Koivisto.
Man Utd 0-5 Liverpool (Men’s first team) 24th October 2021
