- Summary: MANCHESTER UNITED MANAGER, OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER, ARRIVING TO NEWS CONFERENCE (SOUNDBITE) (English) MANCHESTER UNITED MANAGER, OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER, SAYING: "Yeah, I'm disappointed on behalf of the players because I thought the effort they put in, and the fans of course, because they deserve more than the one point, I felt. And when it's towards the end of the game it feels worse as well. Yup, they put us under pressure towards the end, but I didn't feel that they created too many chances. And we soaked the pressure up really well. One lack of concentration and it's a goal and that's the level we're at."

- Story Text: Manchester United ended Liverpool's 100% start to the Premier League season -- and their 17-match winning streak -- with a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Sunday (October 20).
But there was disappointment for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side who were five minutes away from a surprise win before Liverpool substitute Adam Lallana grabbed an equaliser for the league leaders to cancel out Marcus Rashford's 36th minute opener.
It was yet another Premier League game with VAR controversy which will continue to provoke debate about the system introduced this season.
The result cuts Liverpool's lead over second-placed Manchester City to six points and Juergen Klopp's side were far from their best.
United are now unbeaten in their last seven home games against Liverpool and while their battling display will boost morale, the 20-times champions are adrift in 13th place, 15 points behind the leaders.
