Manchester United players were shouting at each other at half-time during their 1-0 win over Liverpool, defender Mamadou Sakho has claimed.

Louis van Gaal's side struggled in the first half at Anfield and failed to have a shot on target before going in level at the break. They claimed all three points thanks to Wayne Rooney's late winner after Marouane Fellaini's header hit the bar.

But Sakho insists United were lucky. And the Frenchman revealed Van Gaal's team were so rattled after the first 45 minutes they were arguing among themselves in the dressing room.

He told French TV channel Canal+: "United were lucky today and they know it. We could hear them shouting in dressing room at half-time. We ate them."
