Liverpool and Manchester United's thrilling 2-2 draw at Anfield was "a real throwback meeting between the two sides", says former Premier League striker Clinton Morrison.

"Everyone thought Liverpool would batter United and they didn't, so full credit to United," he said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.

"I would imagine that United fans were hoping for the snow to not clear at the beginning of the day but finished it being very happy.

"They were fantastic. They defended well and it was a proper Ruben Amorim performance that we had come to see at Sporting."

Former Brighton forward Glenn Murray added: "I haven't seen or enjoyed a game of football like that for ages. Both teams were going hammer and tongs at one another, so it was a really special game.

"It felt like United were rolling back the years and Liverpool are showing they can continue to find a way this season."
