Ryan Giggs criticizes Manchester United player after Liverpool clash
Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has criticized the club player Marcos Rojo for his actions during the 1 - 1 draw with Liverpool.
Marcus Rashford was the goal-scorer from the United side. In spite of the incident concerning Liverpool’s forward Divock Origi’ foul, the goal was allowed after the VAR check.
During the second half, Liverpool managed to equalize the score after Adam Lallana’s goal.
Giggs believes that Rojo, being replaced with Axel Tuanzebe because of his hip injury, should have stopped the Liverpool midfielder from scoring.
He told Optus Sport: "[Aaron] Wan-Bissaka has not played a lot of games, maybe if he was a little bit fitter and sharper he would have got out quicker.
"But for Rojo to actually go past [Harry] Maguire is strange. If he holds his position maybe he can clear it. Ash [Young] never really gets goal-side but if you watch Rojo, he just anticipates where the ball is going to be instead of staying with his man.
"I think it’s a poor goal to give away but Liverpool, for that five or 10 minutes, was knocking at the door and there you see Robertson crossing the ball a lot further up the pitch, where for the majority of the game, him and Trent Alexander-Arnold were crossing the ball from 40, 45 yards out."
