Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has criticised Marcos Rojo for his role in Liverpool's late equaliser on Sunday.

The Englishman was free to tap-in the ball from close range after being allowed space by Rojo.

"[Aaron] Wan-Bissaka has not played a lot of games, maybe if he was a little bit fitter and sharper he would have got out quicker,' Giggs told Optus Sport.

"But for Rojo to actually go past [Harry] Maguire is strange. If he holds his position maybe he can clear it. 'Ash [Young] never really gets goal-side.

"But if you watch Rojo he just anticipates where the ball is going to be instead of staying with his man.

"I think it's a poor goal to give away. But Liverpool, for that five and ten minutes, were knocking at the door and there you see Robertson crossing the ball a lot further up the pitch.

"Where for the majority of the game, him and Trent Alexander-Arnold were crossing the ball from 40, 45 yards out."
