Mohamed Salah continued his scoring streak against Manchester United as Liverpool inflicted a humiliating 3-0 defeat to the Red Devils in the Premier League at Old Trafford. Luis Diaz scored a brace while Mohamed Salah added a third as Manchester United succumbed to their second consecutive defeat.
Casemiro endured a poor evening as his two errors proved to be costly which led to two goals on Sunday. This defeat will definitely raise questions about Erik ten Hag's credentials who has been backed by the new management pretty heavily in the transfer.
Salah has been the chief tormentor for Manchester United for the last few seasons and this match was a no exception as he maintained his perfect record against the Red Devils. Salah said, “I had a good summer, I had a long time to stay with myself and try to think positive.“But as you know, it’s my last year in the club.
“I just want to enjoy it. I don’t want to think about it. I feel like I am here to play football and we’ll see what’s going to happen.”
United brought in Manuel Ugarte from PSG and given Casemiro's struggle in the middle of the pitch he is likely to be shifted straight to the first team.
“He knows the game. He will go on, we will go on, it’s a great player,” Ten Hag said of Casemiro. “We will continue this season, improve the team but also improve the players.
“He showed so often he is a great character and we all have seen great moments from him, be decisive for us in the midfield, and he will show it again. I’m sure he will bounce back.”
