But there was disappointment for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side who were five minutes away from a win before Liverpool substitute Adam Lallana grabbed an equaliser for the league leaders to cancel out Marcus Rashford's 36th minute opener.
United are now unbeaten in their last seven home games against Liverpool, whose lead over second-placed Manchester City is cut to six points.
Rashford scored after turning home a superb low cross from Dan James after the speedy Welshman had broken down the right flank.
The goal was subject to a video review and allowed to stand despite Liverpool claims that Victor Lindelof had fouled Divock Origi at the start of the move.
Liverpool thought they had got level, two minutes before the interval, when Sadio Mane outfought Lindelof and poked home but the VAR review showed the Senegalese forward had handled the ball.
But Juergen Klopp's side, who had struggled to find openings, finally broke through in the 85th minute when Lallana slotted home Andy Robertson's low cross.

The news is far more positive for Liverpool in the goalkeeper department. Alisson Becker is set to return from injury and should replace Adrian.
Joel Matip is also expected to be restored to the starting XI having recovered from a calf injury. But there is no Mohamed Salah, who picked up a knock against Leicester before the international break.
Odds
Manchester United 9/2
Draw 3/1
Liverpool 4/6
Prediction
Liverpool should have too much for an out of form, depleted United side, but it’s unlikely to be the easy victory some expect.
Manchester United 1-2 Liverpool

What a first 45 minutes we've had at Old Trafford. Man Utd lead at the break, Liverpool have a goal overturned.
No one expected that. Manchester United have looked like a completely different team, they been the better side in the first half.
Rashford and James have caused problems for Liverpool's full backs with their pace and Ashley Young and Aaron Wan Bissaka's high pressing has eased the pressure on United's back line.
Liverpool have been poor on the ball, making mistakes and playing loose passes. They did manage to find the back of the net but a Mane handball meant the decision didn't stand.
