Liverpool starlet Harvey Elliott broke down in tears during his interview after beating Bournemouth 9-0 in Saturday’s Premier League clash.The 19-year-old scored his first league goal for the club in an emphatic win in front of the Anfield faithful. His long ranged strike came after just six minutes of play to double the Reds’ lead, but Elliott looked visibly emotional as he celebrated by pointing to the sky before being quickly surrounded by teammates.

Manchester United. The French striker, who missed yesterday’s trip to Southampton with an Achilles injury, made his first league appearance in more than a year as a second-half sub in the United's unexpected 2-1 victory over Liverpool.Martial, 26, is the penultimate year of his existing £270,000-a-week contract at Old Trafford meaning he could become a cut-price target next summer should he enjoy a successful season.

Let us know in the comments sectionUnited will be wary of any repeat of that occurring this term but, by all accounts Martial, at times labelled moody in England, is a rejuvenated figure under Dutchman ten Hag.One source said: “The player has a spring in his step step and genuinely seems pleased to be at United.” That is great news for the new head coach and club as they attempt to end their reliance for goals on ageing hitman Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s full-time reaction against Southampton was strikingly different to his behaviour after Manchester United’s defeat to Brentford earlier this month.The Portuguese forward’s desire to leave the Red Devils this summer has been no secret. His lack of a transfer away and United’s lacklustre form to begin the campaign painted the picture of a frustrated man who had simply had enough.But the iconic no.7’s body language was far more promising after United secured their second win on the trot with a 1-0 victory over Southampton at Saint Mary’s on Saturday, which came courtesy of a 55th minute Bruno Fernandes volley.READ MORE: Three things Erik ten Hag got right as Man Utd inch past SouthamptonRonaldo started on the bench again but was brought on in the 68th minute for Jadon Sancho.

Cristiano Ronaldo's days at the top are officially over after watching him get bested in a footrace with Southampton's Mohammed Salisu. With Manchester United holding on to a narrow 1-0 lead at St Mary's, Ronaldo was introduced with a quarter-of-an-hour left to play, with Erik ten Hag hoping to take advantage of his ruthless, (supposedly) unwavering athleticism.But something shocking happened just a few minutes into his cameo.

Cristiano Ronaldo gatecrashing live broadcasts ahead of a game.Last week, when the superstar was dropped by Erik ten Hag for Manchester United's encounter against Liverpool, he came up, while the Sky Sports cameras were rolling, and gave hugs to Gary Neville, Dean Jones, and Roy Keane (though Jamie Carragher, the former Reds man, was left hanging.)And ahead of the Red Devils' match with Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium today, Ronaldo, who was benched again by the Dutch manager, was at it again - only this time he crashed the BT Sports broadcast when former team-mate Rio Ferdinand was on screen, knocking the back of his legs with a ball so he would turn around, before giving a celebratory gesture.READ MORE: Antony slams Ajax in incredible interview demanding they let him join Man UtdBut some have blasted Ronaldo’s behaviour as ‘weird’ and even said that he could be doing it for ulterior motives.One poised: “So weird this - Ronaldo constantly interacting with TV crews in pre-match - last week and now today.

After the scintillating performance his players produced against Liverpool, every single one of them deserved to start this afternoon.Ten Hag made some big calls on Monday, namely dropping Cristiano Ronaldo and captain Harry Maguire, and he stuck to his guns again today, opting for the same youthful exuberance that so fluidly opened up Jurgen Klopp's side up on Monday.It wasn't the best of team performances, but the likes of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Elanga and Lisandro Martinez are all looking fitter, sharper and happier - and they've got Ten Hag's faith in them to thank for that.Sum up Manchester United's performance today in one word in the comments section below.United didn't splash £60million on Casemiro just to leave him on the bench!

Glenn Hoddle has inferred that Liverpool have already slipped up by giving Manchester City a five-point head start in the Premier League title race at the beginning of the new season.

Liverpool have been absolutely dynamite in the transfer market under Jurgen Klopp.Naby Keita aside, they've pretty much nailed every single one of their big money signings, and they've managed to do a fair bit of shafting when letting their players leave too.Their primary victim (aside from Barcelona) has been Bournemouth, who they've managed to swindled out of more than £40million over the past few years.That might not sound like an awful lot, but when you consider who the players were, it was arguably verging on daylight robbery. But how have the Liverpool cast-offs fared since?
