Man United - Liverpool draw was high on perspiration, low on inspiration

Manchester United 1 Liverpool 1: Manchester United were pursuing the perfect 10 in terms of straight victories. But one look around Old Trafford at kick-off time told the world there was no doubt this would be the biggest.

At the heart of a cluster of banners in the corner opposite the tunnel, one read ‘26 years and counting’.

The success of their own team only just eclipses seeing the continued wait for the title of their bitter rivals Liverpool, it seems for United fans.
