We could have scored 5 or 6 — Salah takes brutal shots at Man Utd after easy win
Salah was in devastating form as Liverpool made light work of their bitter rivals, coming away with a 3-0 win at Old Trafford.
The Reds were in rampant mood and the lack of resistance from Manchester United's midfield and defence meant it was always going to be a long afternoon for Erik ten Hag's men.
Salah, in particular, looked like a man in the mood, and he set up the first two goals before finishing calmly to seal the win.

Speaking after the win, the Egyptian admitted being surprised at how easy the game was, suggesting Liverpool could have scored 5 or 6.
“Easy game? I was surprised… it was quite open. It could’ve finished 5 or 6, to be honest”.

Although United created opportunities in the second half, with Joshua Zirkzee coming close twice, it was ultimately a mere footnote in the game's narrative as the Reds were superior and deserved their big win.
