Liverpool legend Phil Thompson says
Manchester United are still not a proper team and has exposed the 'gulf' between the sides. United had to settle for a point after leading 2-1 at Old Trafford . Bruno Fernandes cancelled out Luis Diaz's opener, while Kobbie Mainoo handed the hosts the lead shortly after the hour mark.
Mohamed Salah then made no mistake from the spot to maintain their title hopes alive. Jurgen Klopp's side are second in the table but level on points with
Arsenal , who have a better goal difference. READ MORE: What Erik ten Hag told Manchester United players at half-time of

Speaking post-match, Thompson believes the gulf between the two clubs has never been bigger than what it is now. He told on LFC TV : "The gulf between individuals, the players, the mentality, the physique, the knowledge. The gulf between the two sides has never been greater. They’ve got away with one today. They were fortunate, it is a chance missed by us. "You look at them and say ‘wow, they are still not a proper team’. You get carried away about getting that draw, you’ve got real problems and that has been the problem because they think they are better than what they are." Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag said post-match: "Very mixed emotions. On one side I am disappointed that we have dropped seven points in one week after being in winning positions, but we have to blame ourselves for making stupid mistakes. "On the other side, I am very proud. You see how we are improving and the potential of this squad is amazing - I am proud. In decisive areas, we were losing battles especially with young players we were not confident to win them [duels]. We encouraged them in the second half to do better and they stepped up." United will return to
Premier League action when they face Bournemouth on the south coast on Saturday (April 13).
