The Football Association of England (FA) is investigating defender Patrice Evra's statement that forward Luis Suarez used a racist slur against him.
The incident allegedly occurred during Saturday's match between the teams, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
"Referee Andre Marriner was informed of these allegations, so he informed the FA and an investigation will be started," the statement said.
A representative from Liverpool assured that Suarez categorically denied the accusations.
Meanwhile, Evra told the TV channel "Canal Plus": "There are cameras, you will be able to see on the video recordings what Suarez said to me at least 10 times."
