Rashford scored from close range after a fine counter attack from Manchester United.
The England striker turned home Daniel James’ fine cross to give the hosts the lead.
But Gary Neville says the goal should not have been allowed as there was a foul in the build up.
Referee Martin Atkinson consulted with VAR but a goal was awarded despite United defender Victor Lindelof appearing to trip Liverpool forward Divock Origi before the hosts attacked.
“It was a foul,” Neville said while commentating for Sky Sports.
“But Manchester United don’t care. [Liverpool manager] Jurgen Klopp is absolutely livid.
“But he should be livid with his team because they haven’t started well and Manchester United have been better.
“But controversy here at Old Trafford.”

“I’ve got a real problem with the bar that’s being set with VAR in terms of these fouls. Is it enough of a foul?
"It’s either a foul or it’s not. But Liverpool haven’t started in this game.
"They had a couple of chances just before this goal but they’v been really poor, I’ve been surprised."
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher was working alongside Neville and said: "I’m a big advocate of VAR. I want it to work, I want it to work for the game but there’s no doubt for the credibility of VAR they’re leaving themselves open to be criticised.
