Premier League: Manchester United v Liverpool half time report
Man Utd 1 Liverpool 0
Dimitar Berbatov’s header separates Manchester United and Liverpool at the break at Old Trafford.
The Bulgarian forward got the better of marker Fernando Torres to guide home Ryan Giggs’ corner shortly before the end of the first half, after the visitors had appeared to have weathered the early pressure put onto them by the hosts.
Nani should have given United the lead early on but could only sidefoot an effort meekly wide, while Wayne Rooney shot wide shortly after Berbatov’s strike.
Liverpool have had plenty of possession but their lack of quality in attacking areas means that they’ve been unable to really hurt the United backline, with their best effort coming when Glen Johnson shot wide following a corner.
