Wayne Rooney's late strike settled a scrappy encounter to give Manchester United and manager Louis van Gaal a vital 1-0 victory against Liverpool in the English Premier League.
Liverpool had the better chances and United keeper David de Gea kept his side in it with fine saves.
Van Gaal's position had been under scrutiny after only two wins in United's previous 11 games ‑ but victory at Anfield is the perfect tonic and his team is now in fifth spot with 37 points, just two points off the Champions League places.
Meanwhile, Arsenal is back on top of the English Premier League points table with 44 points after a nil-all draw against stoke.
