Jamie Carragher has offered a scathing review of one of Manchester United's summer signings following their 0-0 draw with Liverpool on Sunday.
Chances were limited for both Liverpool and Manchester United during the game at Anfield, with defences certainly on top throughout. And while Erik ten Hag's side managed to keep a clean sheet, the Dutchman's tactics were still questioned after the game by former Reds defender Jamie Carragher.
Confused with the tactical set-up, Carragher then highlighted how unimpressed he is with the performances of one player in particular.

"I don't know why they're playing a man-to-man system," Carragher said during commentary on Sky Sports, "Amrabat can't run."
Sofyan Amrabat joined Manchester United from Fiorentina in the summer on a loan deal, with an option to buy at the end of his Old Trafford. He's failed to live up to expectations so far, though, with the hierarchy at the club reportedly unconvinced with his ability on the pitch, too.
Carragher's comments came after the Moroccan picked up a 35th minute yellow card against Liverpool, as he struggled to deal with the energetic midfield of Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch.
Fortunately for Amrabat, he managed to survive the rest of the game with that yellow card, defending resolutely without committing fouls or other offences. Diogo Dalot, meanwhile, did receive a red card after two acts of dissent against referee Michael Oliver in the 94th minute of the match.
