In a search of a winner, the Merseyside club pushed hard in the dying minutes, however, the hosts failed to find a breakthrough and had to settle for a draw.
Gerrard believes that Liverpool deserved to win against United, though, he asserted that a draw against reigning English champions is a not a bad result.
The Englishman told the reporters, "Our fans will feel hard done by with the chances at the end. We could have maybe nicked it but we are playing the best side in the league so I suppose a draw is not the end of the world."

"I don’t think the free kick was the best. The idea was to get it over the wall but a couple years ago at Old Trafford the same thing happened and the wall split. Maybe that’s the little bit of luck I’ve been looking for so to come back for my first 90 minutes
and get a bit of luck, I’m really happy with that,” Steven Gerrard concluded.
Following the 1-1 draw at Anfield, Liverpool are currently placed fifth in the standings with 14 points from eight matches.
