After the final whistle, big man Andre Onana told the media that he “didn’t feel anything” throughout the game.The United goalkeeper explained that he was not at all impressed by the Liverpool fans. Neville also said he was surprised by the somber atmosphere at Anfield. According to The Standard, Liverpool partially unveiled their new stand and attracted a crowd of 57,158. It was the largest Anfield crowd since the FA Cup tie against Burnley in February 1963 and the third largest in the stadium’s history. However, the home fans remained silent for most of the game against United and Neville said it may have been because they were overconfident to beat the Red Devils and be routine winners
“The atmosphere at Anfield between Liverpool and Manchester United was the worst I’ve ever seen,” explained the eight-time Premier League champion.”I’ve always admired Liverpool fans, but this was the quietest crowd I’ve ever seen at a game.””I think it was 7-0 before the game,” Neville said, adding: “There were people wearing Christmas jumpers or something.”United’s next game is when they travel to London on Saturday to face David Moyes’ West Ham.
Manchester United legend Gary Neville has claimed that Liverpool’s home game against Manchester United at Anfield was one of the worst experiences of his life.
