Elsewhere, some United stars appeared to turn on Diogo Dalot during the match.
Antony and Fred were spotted criticising the defender mid-way through the first half.
They appeared to be unhappy with his use of the ball, with manager Ten Hag also seen bellowing at Dalot from the touchline.

'Like little children!'
Gary Neville accused Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness of "gloating like little children" following Liverpool's 7-0 win over Manchester United.
Jurgen Klopp's men scored six second-half goals at Anfield on Sunday afternoon as the Reds blew away Erik ten Hag's shambolic side.
For 43 minutes the game was goalless, before Cody Gakpo broke the deadlock shortly before the break.
From then on, Man Utd capitulated as Liverpool demolished their bitter rivals.
But Neville did not agree with Souness and Carragher on what could be taken from the performances of the two sides.
On the Sky Sports coverage, Souness began by referencing his prediction before the game that Liverpool would win comfortably.
He then added: "Gary said off-air that you thought Liverpool played badly today."
Neville replied: "I didn't say that. I said I thought first half Manchester United were the better team. I think that in the second half it was about Manchester United's capitulation."
Souness chimed back with: "So that had nothing to do with Liverpool playing well?"
Before Neville qualified his view, adding: "I don't think when Jurgen Klopp analyses that game tomorrow – the momentum from that he'll take – but I don't think he'll think 'we're back'.
"I don't think he'll fall into that trap. They won't get carried away off the back of that at all."
As Souness attempted to come back in, an agitated Neville then said: "Look at them. You're gloating like little children."
To which Souness replied: "You can't come out with a daft remark like 'Liverpool didn't play well today'."

Morning, United fans
Erik ten Hag claims United "lost their heads" and Gary Neville labelled skipper Bruno Fernandes a "disgrace" in yesterday's record 7-0 loss at Liverpool.
Yet the Red Devils were at least Liverpool's equals until Cody Gakpo's 43rd minute opener, only to disintegrate once tumbling 3-0 behind soon after the break.
Boss Ten Hag said: "Second half it was not us. We didn't play as a team. We didn't stick to the plan. We didn't do our jobs. We didn't track back and it was really unprofessional."
And former Old Trafford defender Gary Neville was even more scathing.
He said: "Bruno Fernandes is stood in the centre circle with his arms raised saying 'why is it me not coming off?'
“Some of his behaviour in the second half has been a disgrace..I’ve had enough of him throwing his arms about, not running about."
Fernandes himself claimed: “The first half was really good, we created most of the chances, they didn’t create much. The second half was not our level.”
And of United crumbling, he added: “The team tries to react but in an erratic way. We tried to go forward but lost some shape.”
Ex-United hardman Keane blasted lack of leadership for the "shocking, embarrassing" defeat.
It was United's joint heaviest loss in a competitive game and Liverpool's largest win over their fiercest rivals.
Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah all struck twice before Roberto Firmino completed a day of joyous counter-attacking from the home side and dire defending from the Red Devils.

We have a duty to put this right – De Gea
United keeper David de Gea called United's 7-0 Anfield annihilation a "disastrous moment"- in a sheepish tweet to fans.
But the long-serving Spaniard wants the Red Devils to look forward rather than dwell on the record-equalling loss.
De Gea wrote: "I know these messages don't sit well on such a day.
"This was a disastrous moment for us and these results shouldn't happen…
"We have a duty to this club, a responsibility to represent the badge but we have many opportunities to look ahead…"

Ten Hag rues lack of discipline
Erik ten Hag blamed United's "worst" display of the year on poor discipline.
The Red Devils' manager is angry at his side's total absence of composure as Liverpool rattled in goals either side of half-time to spark a 7-0 romp.
Ten Hag said: "It was a really bad performance and the worst of the year.
"We lost the game at the end of the first half and at the start of the second but you have to keep your head up and we didn't.
"It's all about showing discipline and we didn't, so that's when you start conceding goals.
"It's a really unprofessional performance and unnecessary. You have to do your jobs and we didn't."

Erik vows to bounce back
Erik ten Hag claims United have proved under him they can recover from huge shocks.
Referencing two previous heavy away losses this season, the Red Devils' boss said: "We have seen in the past we can bounce back.
After Brentford (0-4), after Manchester City (3-6). This is definitely a strong setback and is unacceptable.
"We let the fans down and I'm really disappointed and angry about it.
"It is a reality check… It's a strong message [that] we get."

Ten Hag blasts 'unprofessional' Red Devils
Erik ten Hag claims his "unprofessional" United side "lost their heads" in the second half of a record 7-0 loss at Liverpool.
The home team went ahead on 43 minutes and dominated once moving 3-0 in front after 50.
Ten Hag said: "Second half it was not us. It was not our standards. We didn't play as a team."
He admitted he was surprised" because "I have seen the last weeks and months a team that is resilient and determined with a winning attitude".
The Dutchman added: "We didn't stick to the plan, we lose our heads. We didn't do our jobs.
"We didn't track back and it was really unprofessional."

Keane and not heard
Roy Keane reckons he'd have gone into hiding if he'd lost 7-0 to Liverpool in in his United playing days.
The former hardman told Sky Sports: "The big players, the ones we all build up, really let the club down.
"If you ever get beaten by six or seven, you go into hiding for a few days.
"I'd go missing for a few months. I don't know what to say, I'm in shock."

You don't grin anything with kids…
Gary Neville accused fellow Sky Sports pundits Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness of "gloating like little children" following their old club Liverpool's 7-0 win over Manchester United.
Cody Gakpo opened the floodgates with his opener on 43 minutes as Nev's former team collapsed.
But Old Trafford legend Neville disagreed with Souness and Carragher on whether it was mainly down tio Liverpool brilliance or United ineptitude.
Souness began by referencing his prediction before the game that Liverpool would win comfortably. He then added: "Gary said off-air that you thought Liverpool played badly today."
Neville replied: "I didn't say that. I said I thought first half Manchester United were the better team. I think that in the second half it was about Manchester United's capitulation."

Fans reckon Mikel predicted 7-0!
Arsenal fans claim manager Mikel Arteta predicted Manchester United's 7-0 hammering at Liverpool.
The Red Devils were blown away by Jurgen Klopp's side and it left them 14 points behind the Gunners at the top of the table.
Still buzzing after their 3-2 comeback win over Bournemouth on Saturday, Arsenal fans even joked their boss can predict the future.
Arteta was spotted on the sidelines against the Cherries, holding up seven fingers.
Poking fun at Man Utd, one supporter posted the photo and added the scoreline from Anfeld to the gesture.
Fans found it hilarious, one said: "Arteta is a genius."
Another reacted: "Another Arteta masterclass."
A third commented: "He knew all along."
Perhaps being able to see into the future is a talent needed at Arsenal, as even director of football Edu has been at it.
When Arteta was under serious pressure two years ago, the former Arsenal midfielder ensured supporters the "future is beautiful" with the Spaniard in charge.

Bruno slammed for 'embarrassing' dive
Bruno Fernandes has been slammed for an embarrassing dive in Man Utd's 7-0 loss at Liverpool.
The Red Devils' captain fell to the ground clutching his face after feeling contact from Ibrahima Konate.
The Liverpool defender was in control of the ball at the time and had his arm outstretched as he was running, and he appeared to hit Fernandes in the chest.
Fernandes went down as if he was injured despite the minimal contact and it was no surprise when he got back up to his feet moments later.
Fans blasted the Portuguese and labelled his behaviour as "embarrassing".
One said: "Bruno Fernandes is the biggest crybaby in the Premier League. How can you dive and then get mad at the referee for not giving a pen?"
Another added: "Bruno Fernandes is a clown. The dive there deserved an Oscar."
A third said: "Bruno Fernandes is the most embarrassing player in the league. Clear and obvious dive 😂 Gets a hand on his chest and goes down clutching his face."

Keane fury at lack of leadership
Roy Keane singled out lack of leadership for United's "shocking" 7-0 loss at Anfield.
The ex-Red Devils' hardman said: "It was obviously a bad day, shocking really.
"It was game over at the beginning of the second half. The senior players were embarrassing. They didn't show any leadership skills. Shocking.
"Thank God I was never part of a team beaten by that much at United.
"The players will be ashamed and embarrassed. When the going got tough, they went missing.
"They didn't show any pride, fight or spirit.
"The big players, the ones we all build up, really let the club down. If you ever get beaten by six or seven, you go into hiding for a few days.
"I'd go missing for a few months. I don't know what to say, I'm in shock."

Fernandes almost admits Utd fell apart…
Under-fire skipper Bruno Fernandes admitted United virtually fell apart in Liverpool's second-half rampage.
The Red Devils were arguably on top until Cody Gakpo's 43rd minute opener, but fell apart once Liverpool added a quick double after the break on the way to a record 7-0 victory.
Fernandes told Sky Sports: "It's really frustrating, because it's a really bad result.
"The first half was really good, we created most of the chances, they didn't create much. The second half was not our level."
But of United crumbling, he added: "The team tries to react but in an erratic way. We tried to go forward but lost some shape."

"It's the hardest place to come for a Man Utd player, no matter what form they are in.
"But I have to say Liverpool were absolutely amazing.

Nev blasts 'disgraceful' United
United legend Gary Neville slammed"disgraceful" United after Liverpool's record win over their fierce rivals.
But ex-Anfield midfielder Graeme Souness said: "Liverpool were sensational in the second half and the result doesn't flatter Liverpool.
"United just didn't compete in the second half. Liverpool ran riot."

RESULT: Liverpool 7 (SEVEN) Man Utd 0
Shameful from United, shimmering from Liverpool.
Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and their star-man fellow striker Mo Salah hit two apiece before Liverpool sub Roberto Firmino fired the seventh.
The Red Devils' defending was shocking, although the home side's finishes were all clinical as they dominated on the counter attack once a quickfire double made it 3-0 just after the break.
Assuming this was a staggering one-off, United still look good to hold onto third spot.
But this disgraceful defeat surely ends any title talk this season – and not just because the Red Devils are now 14 points below leaders Arsenal.

GOAL: Liverpool 7 Man Utd 0
Sub Roberto Firmino sneaked in with the seventh on 88 minutes.
The Brazilian striker, heading out in the summer, showed brilliant footwork to readjust and lash home.
