Liverpool were dealt a real humbling by Atalanta, who thrashed them 3-0 at Anfield in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals.
The Italian side completely outplayed Jurgen Klopp’s side, tormenting them with counter-attacks and leaving them shaken up.
A lot of Man United fans were delighted to see their rivals given a thrashing and truly impressed with how well Atalanta performed.
One Man United supporter was seemingly impressed with the performance of Atalanta midfielder Ederson, someone the Red Devils have been linked with earlier in his season.
The Brazilian midfielder troubled Liverpool with his pressing, winning a few key challenges. He looked really proactive and this Man United fan, V.O, has noted why it could be smart to sign him in the summer as they noted on Redcafe.
V.O: “Tried to keep an eye on him tonight vs Liverpool as we were linked. Atalanta beat them 3-0 at Anfield. Great engine, covers a lot of ground.
“Was pressing Liverpool's defence at the edge of their area in the 92nd minute and was back in Atalanta's box before the ball was when they launched a counter. Popped up everywhere from CB, fullback, to making the run into the box that led to their third. Didn't see much of him on the ball, showed neat footwork once or twice, but Atalanta were mostly hoofing it. “Seems to have good awareness of his surroundings to go with his mobility and recovery pace. Barely let Mac Allister and then Szoboszlai have a second's peace all game.
"Based on this little bit of evidence, I'd guess he'd be a better fit than Everton's Onana because he seems to have much better tools for trying to cover the acres of wide open space that we leave in our midfield. He seems to play a bit like a bigger, more positionally disciplined Fred.”
