New footage has shown the reaction of the Man United players to Harry Maguire's last-gasp chance against Liverpool on Sunday.

After four defeats in a row, Ruben Amorim finally made a step forward at Anfield as United came away with a 2-2 draw against the Premier League leaders.

United started the game much the brighter team, and had major chances through Rasmus Hojlund and Amad Diallo to take the lead, however, the couldn't find the breakthrough in the first half.

Amorim's side eventually took the lead through Lisandro Martinez, who fired a brilliant strike off the bar after being slipped through by Bruno Fernandes.

However, it didn't take long for Anfield to work its magic as Arne Slot's side replied in double quick time with a sensational solo goal from Cody Gakpo, who scored in his fourth consecutive Anfield appearance.

A handball from Matthijs de Ligt let Mo Salah fire Liverpool into the lead from the spot, but ten minutes later United pulled it back level through Diallo.

Both sides had chances to take all three points in the closing stages, but Harry Maguire had by far the biggest chance with the very last kick of the game.

After the flag stayed down on Joshua Zirkzee, the Dutchman found himself in behind the Liverpool defense with just seconds remaining.

Zirkzee opted to square the ball to the England defender, however, a rather poor pass from the 23-year-old made it more difficult for Maguire, who blazed the chance over the bar.

The final whistle then sounded, making it a golden chance at three points wasted, and a new angle of how the Man United players reacted was revealed on Match of the Day 2.

The footage shows the United players not involved in the attack all drop to the floor, with Diogo Dalot looking particularly frustrated with the missed opportunity.

Andre Onana also collapsed to the ground, while Amorim could do nothing more than put his head in his hands.

The result moves United up to 13th place in the league, seven points above Ipswich in 18th place and 10 points behind Bournemouth in the first European place.

Amorim's side travel to The Emirates at the weekend as they begin their defense of the FA Cup, before returning to league action to face bottom side, Southampton at Old Trafford.
