Manchester United legend Phil Neville says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer got his tactics "spot on" against Liverpool on Sunday.

Solskjaer's decision to play with five in defence nullified Liverpool's attacking threat at Old Trafford for the majority of the game, before Adam Lallana equalised in the final minutes.

"Tactically, Ole got it really spot on," the England women's manager told Optus Sport.

"Five at the back, they defended the middle of the pitch really well, the three centre-backs, in particular, defended the goal really well, every cross that came in from wide areas they were set.

"Just that cross at the end when it gets fired across the box. Rojo just lost a little bit of concentration and it got punished.

"Liverpool did finish really strong and United will feel like that's two points dropped."
