No one dreams about picking up a 0-0 draw, but given what Manchester United have been through lately, Sunday's often dull stalemate against Liverpool felt like a victory. Erik ten Hag's side defended like troopers and Raphael Varane, who had been marginalised for much of the previous six weeks, was their general at the back, helped by his ever-reliable assistant Jonny Evans.
The pair were alert to every moment of danger Liverpool posed and made sure they left Anfield unscathed, a huge relief given how they were destroyed 7-0 on their last visit to enemy territory.
And they even had a chance to win it when Rasmus Hojlund bore down on goal but could not beat Alisson midway through the second half. They did, however, finish the game with 10 men after Diogo Dalot was sent off in stoppage-time for dissent.
