EPL: David Moyes tells Man Utd what to do Ten Hag amid poor form

Liverpool Fail To Go Top As They Draw With Manchester United

Manchester United lifted the mood of crisis around manager Erik ten Hag by securing a battling point against Liverpool at Anfield. In a mediocre encounter, United stopped the rot that had been spreading after the heavy home loss to Bournemouth and a tame Champions League exit rubber-stamped by Bayern Munich at Old Trafford.

UCL: Man Utd, Newcastle exits could see EPL lose fifth spot next season

The Premier League is in danger of missing out on one extra Champions League spot for next season. This follows the early elimination of Manchester United and Newcastle United this campaign.

However, UEFA determines which two leagues will benefit from the additional places by its…
