Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool won against Manchester United at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday.

Jim Beglin has stated on Twitter that Fabinho was Liverpool’s best player against Manchester United, not Xherdan Shaqiri.

Liverpool got the better of United 3-1 at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday evening.

Shaqiri stoke the headlines, as the 27-year-old winger scored twice in the space of seven minutes in the second half.

The Switzerland international actually came on as a substitute on 70 minutes, and once again, the former Stoke City star proved why he is so highly rated.

Former Liverpool left-back Beglin, though, believes that the best player for Jurgen Klopp’s side against United was Fabinho.

The 25-year-old Brazil international defensive midfielder started the match against the Red Devils and played for the entire 90 minutes.

According to WhoScored, Fabinho provided one assist, took five shots, had a pass accuracy of 78.8%, won one header, made one tackle, and played two key passes.

Liverpool are now at the top of the Premier League table with 45 points from 17 matches, a point clear of second-placed Manchester City.
