The Reds' slow start was costly, even after Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo's goals soon after the interval brought the scoreline back level at 2-2, and Arne Slot's side is now six points behind Michael Carrick's."For sure, it's a big disappointment because I think we conceded two goals that we must not concede when we start the game," Konate told club media at Old Trafford.READ MORE: Arne Slot error proves costly as Liverpool and Man Utd reality clear - 5 talking pointsREAD MORE: Jamie Carragher reveals long-term Liverpool 'worry' as he calls for summer transfer action"[In] the second half we came back with a great mentality to [go] 2-2.

In other moments we can hurt them but we concede a goal and that's why it's very sad for us."We didn't start the game very well but the second half we started very well. I think it was a big opportunity to take three points and we didn't get anything."Liverpool in the first half was passive and looked defensively porous.

"In the first half, we lost many challenges on the pitch. The softness with Liverpool is even in their decision-making."Liverpool.com says: The first half was a worry but both sides are flawed.
