Nemanja Matic believes Manchester United were better than Liverpool during their 2-0 defeat at Anfield on Sunday.
Virgil van Dijk broke the deadlock in the first half before Mohamed Salah scored a second with the last kick of the game.
Anthony Martial had an excellent chance to equalise after the interval but blazed over and Matic insists they should have got something from the game.
The Serbia international told MUTV: 'On the pitch, we felt, "We are in the game, we can score, we can create".
'I think we played some good football. In the last 35 to 40 minutes, we were the better side.
'But it's hard. If you don't score against this kind of team it's hard to draw or to win.
'I think everyone on the pitch from our team felt that we were in control, completely in control, so that's the model of how we should always play against top teams.'
Liverpool had six shots on target during the match to United's five and the Reds had two goals disallowed.
Salah also missed a glaring chance in the six-yard box before Martial missed a sitter.

We Had Our Moments But We Failed To Put The Ball Into The Net.., That's The Main Difference. Overall Liverpool Totally Deserved The Victory.., No Two Ways About That. Admit It And Move On.

⏭Manchester United's Medical team is full of amatuer doctors. First Pogba and now Rashford 😥 ⏭Board can't complete a signing 20 days into the transfer window. ⏭Team has only 3 fully fit forwards to play (one of them is academy player). ⏭Only two fully fit Central Midfielders and both of them are playing day in and day out. Congratulations, Manchester United fans. Our season might be over in January.

When you are playing 10 minutes can look like 20 or 30 minutes. Especially when you are on the losing side. The honest truth is that Man U really pressed us in the last 10 minutes of the game. They'd had another short spell earlier when Anthony squandered their best chance on goal. Those short spells raised their possession to over 40% for the entire game. When Liverpool were on the front foot ball possession was 72-28 in favour of Liverpool. Players don't see these stats because they are the active participants! Truthfully, Man U were lucky to lose by 2 goals. It could have been 5-6 goals!!!
