Manchester United suffered a 0-3 defeat against Liverpool, with Mohamed Salah scoring a goal and providing two assists, increasing the pressure on Erik ten Hag.
Liverpool celebrated a resounding victory over a hapless Manchester United, triumphing 3-0 in a Premier League clash at Old Trafford on September 1, 2024.
The star of the show was none other than the sensational Mohamed Salah, who, alongside Luis Diaz, unleashed a devastating 23-minute onslaught that left the opposition reeling.
Salah’s exceptional playmaking skills were on full display as he provided two assists to Diaz in the first half. Both goals were a result of defensive errors by Casemiro, which Liverpool expertly capitalized on. Even the removal of the Brazilian midfielder by Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag during halftime failed to halt the relentless attacking prowess of Salah, who went on to score a goal of his own before the hour mark.
Despite the presence of Manchester United’s new management team, including Jim Ratcliffe, the team started the match with promise. However, they constantly found themselves vulnerable whenever Liverpool launched their lightning-fast counterattacks. The disappointing performance of the home team was evident as Old Trafford began to empty out well before the final whistle.
In contrast, Liverpool’s new manager, Arne Slot, continued his winning streak in impressive fashion. The victory propelled Liverpool to second place in the Premier League, level on nine points with table-toppers Manchester City, albeit with a slightly inferior goal difference.
It seems that Liverpool is seamlessly carrying on the legacy left by their former manager, Jurgen Klopp.
