Recalled Reds benefit from Watford tie
The Reds manager made nine changes to his side for the third-round tie against the Hornets, from the team that faced Manchester City in the Carabao Cup semi-final last Wednesday. And for many players, this provided much-needed minutes in the tank as United face a congested fixture list.
In his press conference after the match, the boss was asked about the contributions made by Brandon Williams, Mason Greenwood and Donny van de Beek in particular.
