MANCHESTER, England -- Three thoughts from Manchester United 1-1 Liverpool at Old Trafford in the Premier League.
1. Ibrahimovic comes to Man United's rescue
Not for the first time, Manchester United can be grateful to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. His 13th goal in as many games spared them defeat in the match they least like to lose. Liverpool arrived at Old Trafford under strength and underdogs, but they were six minutes from a memorable, meaningful win.
Then Antonio Valencia crossed, Ibrahimovic stooped to head in and Liverpool's resistance did not bring them the prize they wanted: victory.
