Despite Erik ten Hag’s decision to substitute the struggling Brazilian at halftime, Manchester United continued to falter.
Salah, the Red Devils’ perennial nemesis, added a third goal before the hour mark, sealing the fate of the hosts.
United started the match with promise, buoyed by the presence of their new ownership group, including Jim Ratcliffe. However, they were repeatedly exposed by Liverpool’s counter-attacks, leaving Old Trafford half-empty before the final whistle.
Under the guidance of new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool maintained their unbeaten start to the season, moving to second place in the Premier League. They are level on nine points with Manchester City but trail on goal difference, showing no signs of slowing down as they continue their fine form.
