Liverpool led the showdown twice, with Alexis Mac Allister and Mo Salah cancelling out Scott McTominay's opening goal in the first half before Harvey Elliott bagged at the end of first-half stoppage-time. But Liverpool could not hold on for penalties when United broke at pace and Amad Diallo netted a heartbreaking winner in the 122nd minute. K

lopp's side's recent hectic schedule, coupled with a raft of regular starters on the sidelines, appeared to catch up on them.

And after the United reverse, Klopp revealed that Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo all suffered issues.

The Liverpool boss said: "Now the boys go on international duty, we hope they come back healthy," said the Reds boss. "Lucho [Diaz] felt his groin, Darwin hamstring. Cody twisted his ankle. They play again in four or five days, it's crazy. Hopefully, we will finish the season in style. I really feel for our people."
