Erik Ten Haag's seemingly unmovable object met a force that was just too much for them as they crushed at Anfield against their bitterest rivals on Sunday, March 5.

Manchester United suffered a crushing 7-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Premier League in what was one of the club's biggest defeats in history.

Prior to their shipwreck, the Red Devils had been on an astonishing winning streak beating Barcelona in the Europa League and winning the League Cup after edging Newcastle United 2-0 in the finals.

Despite their impressive form in recent times, things took a turn for the worse at Anfield last Sunday as the Reds were battered 7-0 by Jurgen Klopp's side courtesy of a brace from Cody Gakpo, Mohammed Salah, Darwin Nunez and a goal from Roberto Firmino.

Dutch manager, Ten Haag who is deemed to be a strict manager and a disciplinarian was obviously not going to gloss over the Anfield debacle.

The Mirror reports that the former Ajax boss forced his players to sit in silence as they listened to the recordings of Liverpool's dressing room jubilation as his way of getting his message across to them.

Manchester United will be looking to bounce back to winning ways when they take on Real Betis in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie on Thursday, March 9.
