Joshua Zirkzee's full-time reaction following Manchester United's big win over Liverpool has got their fans talking.
Man United secured a famous 2-1 win against old rivals Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring in just the second minute and the visitors held onto their lead until the 78th minute when Cody Gakpo equalised in front of the Kop.
But Man United regained their lead just minutes later after Harry Maguire headed home from Bruno Fernandes' cross.

There were jubilant scenes on the pitch when match referee Anthony Taylor blew the final whistle as the Man United camp celebrated Ruben Amorim winning back-to-back league games for the first time in his reign.
Players who didn't play spilled onto the pitch, including Zirkzee, who has made just three league appearances this season.
Despite the lack of minutes, Zirkzee passionately celebrated his side's win and shared warm embraces with Fernandes and Senne Lammens.
The lack of game-time clearly hasn't affected the Dutchman's mood as Man United fans online loved his attitude.

One X user wrote: "Thought they said he’s unhappy. Bro lowkey enjoying himself."
A second added: "I’ll never question Joshua Zirkzee’s attitude or professionalism. Top guy."
A third commented: "Let’s hope we start rotating between Sesko and Zirkzee. Zirkzee deserves minutes on the pitch. Hope someday we’ll get to see Cunha, Mbeumo and Zirkzee all start a match."
Amorim oversaw his biggest win as Man United manager and, as mentioned, claimed back-to-back league wins for the first time since his appointment last November.

He hailed the victory at Anfield as a 'special win' and dedicated the three points over Liverpool to the fans.
"Every day is special [as United boss] but this was a very special win," he told the club's official website. "To see our fans singing during the game, in a moment that the biggest rival are champions, on their field and at their stadium, this win is all about our fans and the spirit of the team because I believe we can play so much better.
"We will analyse the game in the same way we analyse the other ones, try to see the good things and bad things. But, for me, the togetherness they [the players] showed during this game, that is special for me."
Man United move into ninth place in the league, with 13 points on the board.
