A desperately dull Monday night was spent by many a football fan watching Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United, the much-publicised big match live on Sky that turned out to be a bit of a disappointment – and these are the best jokes from the game.
A once formidable United were now reduced to showing a distinct lack of ambition at Anfield under new manager José Mourinho who managed to stifle the game to his side’s advantage.
As a subdued couple of days of Premier League action brings this gameweek to a close, here are the best of the jokes from Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United:

If Mourinho directed Die Hard it'd be 90 minutes of Bruce Willis hiding in a cupboard, then applauding his tactics for not getting shot.
