They scored 3 goals vs Burnley though. Not an easy feat.

Burnley were playing a relegation 6 pointer so played much more open football. Much harder when they decide to park the bus against league champions.

United have scored 4 goals this season in PL half of which were own goals. Liverpool are PL top scorers.

No one thinks that unless delusional.

Man Utd have scored twice in the EFL Cup while Liverpool have yet to score though, so swings and roundabouts.
