Manchester United "missed an opportunity" to beat Liverpool, said  Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with his side stayed top of the Premier League table with a goalless draw against the champions.

It was a game that failed to justify the pre-match anticipation and Solskjaer will know his side had the better chances to claim a victory at Anfield.

Liverpool, are without a recognised centre-back and with midfielders Jordan Henderson and Fabinho in defence, dominated possession in the first half but it was United who came closest when Bruno Fernandes' 20-yard free-kick curled wide.

Fernandes was then thwarted after the break by the outstretched leg of Liverpool keeper Alisson before Thiago's long-range effort finally brought the previously unemployed David de Gea into action.

Alisson was Liverpool's hero late on when he blocked Paul Pogba's drive from point-blank range.

Speaking after the match Solskjaer said"It was an opportunity missed with the chances we had but then again we were playing a very good side.I'm disappointed but still a point is OK if you win the next one.

"We have improved and progressed. It's not just the result we're disappointed with, it's some of the performance. I know these boys can play better."

United are now two points ahead of Manchester City, who moved up to second after beating CristalPalace 4:0 Leicester City in third. Liverpool, who have scored just one goal in their last four league games, have dropped to fourth, a point behind Leicester City.
