Manchester United attacker Cristiano Ronaldo and club captain Harry Maguire were dropped to the bench for last night's 2-1 Premier League victory over fierce rivals Liverpool.

 

The win was their first since new boss Erik ten Hag took over at Old Trafford.

 

He says he simply picked the team he thought had the best chance of securing three points.

 

 

The result sees United leapfrog Liverpool, who are yet to win this season.

Ukraine's football season starts today.

 

No games have been played in the country since Russia's invasion.
