Liverpool 3-1 Manchester United: Tony Cascarino says ‘Mourinho HAS to go and Red Devils need a complete makeover’
Manchester United need a complete makeover starting with Jose Mourinho being shown the door, according to former Chelsea and Republic of Ireland forward Tony Cascarino.Cascarino, writing in his Times column the day after United suffered a 3-1 defeat at Liverpool, claims ‘there are no positives’ for the Red Devils right now, with United nothing like the club Sir Alex Ferguson created during his legendary all-conquering spell at Old Trafford.Xherdan Shaqiri came off the bench to score twice and down Man United2

Sadio Mane’s striker and a brace from Xherdan Shaqiri guided Liverpool to victory at Anfield, with Jesse Lingard netting for the visitors after an error from Alisson, the Liverpool goalkeeper.Lingard’s goal, however, was just one of six shots recorded by United throughout the match, while their opponents managed a remarkable 36; each of Liverpool’s outfield players recorded at least one attempt throughout the match.Furthermore, David de Gea was tested 11 times – and he made some truly superb saves to keep the score respectable – while Alisson only faced two shots, one of which was Lingard’s goal.Liverpool were so, so dominant at Anfield, and the gulf between the two teams now is larger than it has been in many, many years.“There are no positives for United now,” Cascarino writes. “The manager is waiting to be sacked there is no way back for Jose Mourinho, the players look lost, the star names are sitting on the bench, the style of football is lifeless and awful to watch, and the club are dishing out new contracts to players who are not good enough.Is time running out for Mourinho?2

“Nothing about the club is even close to the Manchester United that Sir Alex Ferguson created.“Mourinho has talked about needing to build a house at United,referencing the poor structure at the club, which is all a little funny for someone who has spent two and a half years living in a hotel. There is no love at the club, it is all negative.” Mane’s opener was a truly brilliant goal, the Senegal forward superbly finishing past De Gea after Fabinho’s wonderful lofted pass.Liverpool’s second and third of the day, both scored by Shaqiri, found their way past De Gea via deflections.Cascarino continues: “Also a quick word on Mourinhos excuse about Liverpools deflected goals.

Dominant Liverpool, submissive United

Man United only came out on top in one area of the key statistics for the match - fouls. Liverpool dominated all other areas with ease.
  • Possession: Liverpool 64%-36% Man United
  • Pass success: LIverpool 81%-65% Man United
  • Shots: Liverpool 36-6 Man United
  • Shots on target: Liverpool 11-2 Man United
  • Corners: Liverpool 13-2 Man United
  • Fouls: Liverpool 6-14 Man United
“As a professional you are told that they are not a fluke and they often happen for a reason – that you are sitting too deep, leaving space outside the penalty area, and then you are not reacting quickly enough to close down the ball.“So the opponent has space to shoot and it deflects off all those players in the box.“There can be no more excuses: Mourinho has to go and the club needs a complete makeover.”
