The visitors nearly doubled their lead when Bruno Fernandes hit the post after some excellent build-up play involving Matheus Cunha.
The second half was a closely contested affair, with both teams creating scoring opportunities.
Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo equalized for the hosts, but United’s determination ultimately paid off.
In the dying embers of the game, Harry Maguire headed home a superb cross from Bruno Fernandes, securing a dramatic win for United.
