Liverpool striker Christian Benteke has called on his teammates to "show more" after they stumbled to defeat against arch rivals Manchester United at the weekend.

At 2-0 down, the Belgian was able to drag the Reds back into the game with a goal in the 84th minute, but United's summer signing Anthony Martial struck two minutes later to give the hosts a 3-1 win at Old Trafford.

"For my own confidence it was good, [it is] for a striker to score, but at the end of the day I would have rather taken the three points and so I'm disappointed," Benteke told the club's official website.

"We have to show more. When you play for a club like Liverpool, you have to show more. That's what we're going to do now in training - work hard, work hard and try to play well."

So far in the Premier League this season, Brendan Rodgers's side have won two games, lost two and drawn one.
