A fan on X tweeted, “Mohamed Salah has now scored more goals for Liverpool than anyone has ever scored for Manchester United.”
His tweet was then quoted by The Athletic, with the caption, “Mohamed Salah’s goal against Wolves was his 254th in a Liverpool shirt.

“Wayne Rooney, Manchester United’s all-time top scorer, scored 253 goals for the Old Trafford outfit.”
With the winger still active in football, he has scored more goals than United’s legend Rooney, who retired years ago.
As it stands, Salah remains third on the list of Liverpool’s top scorers and looks to close the gap as the season continues.
