Mainoo seals dramatic win for Manchester United over Liverpool

Manchester United claimed a dramatic 3-2 victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday after a breathless contest defined by momentum shifts and defensive desperation. United struck first when Matheus Cunha finished a sweeping move, before a scrambled effort involving Bruno Fernandes and Benjamin Sesko doubled the advantage.
