THE BIGGER PICTURE: Erik Ten Hag registered his first Premier League win as Manchester United boss, defeating Liverpool at an electric Old Trafford. The Dutchman made a few big selection calls, leaving captain Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench, with the latter making a five-minute cameo as a substitute. Ronaldo has been pushing for a transfer all summer but has yet to find a willing suitor.
