BREAKING: Liverpool Trash Man United 5-0 Without Mercy Despite Ronaldo’s Return

Man United has been defeated by Liverpool FC in a 5-0 match that seems tough at United’s Old Trafford.

Liverpool has squandered Man United’s hope of leaving the 6th position on the EPL table.

Liverpool raced into an early 2-0 lead, Naby Keita arrowing Salah’s pass home for a fifth-minute opener before Diogo Jota added a second from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross eight minutes later.

Salah then took centre stage, the Egyptian hitting a rising shot from Keita’s cross on 38 minutes before he put Liverpool 4-0 up at the break with a crisp finish from Jota’s assist.

Paul Pogba was brought on for Mason Greenwood at half-time but any lingering hopes United had of a second-half comeback were squashed when Salah claimed his third and Liverpool’s fifth, finishing with aplomb from a sublime Jordan Henderson through-ball.

It was the first hat-trick scored by an away player at Old Trafford in the Premier League since Dennis Bailey for QPR on 1 January 1992.

Cristiano Ronaldo had a goal overturned for offside and Man Utd’s misery was compounded on 61 minutes when Pogba was sent off.

Liverpool’s second consecutive 5-0 away win puts them in second on 21 points, one point behind leaders Chelsea. Man Utd drops to seventh with 14 points.

Liverpool Vs Manchester United

Quite simply, Liverpool took Manchester United apart. Not just with their football, but their wit, their game management and intelligence. One can look at the team assembled by Solskjaer and admire it, but what is he doing to improve any of them? Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw are better defenders with England. Maguire is no better than he was at Leicester, if not worse. He is going backwards with this club. Who is going forwards?
