Manchester United have a 3-0 lead over their formidable rivals at home after the Red Devils once again crumbled under Liverpool’s press.
It has gone from bad to worse for Erik ten Hag’s side, who are now three goals clear of Liverpool at Old Trafford in a game that could set the tone for the rest of their season.
After Trent Alexander-Arnold had his opener ruled out for offside, Manchester United looked to be growing into the game as they possessed a real threat on the counter-attack.
But thanks to two errors from Casemiro, Luis Díaz grabbed a brace as Slot’s men went into the break two goals up.
It then went from bad to worse when Mohamed Salah swept home just after the restart to make it the third, as he now has more direct involvements against Manchester United than anyone in the history of the competition.
