Liverpool Extends Flawless Run Under Arne Slot with Dominant Display Against Manchester United at Old Trafford
Liverpool maintained their perfect record under new manager Arne Slot as they completely outplayed Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The visitors were on a different level compared to United in a victory so comprehensive that it will undoubtedly bring renewed scrutiny on Slot's compatriot Erik ten Hag. Ten Hag, who survived a summer review to secure a new contract following last season's FA Cup victory, now faces fresh questions.
Since Slot took over from Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool has barely missed a beat, recording three consecutive Premier League wins without conceding a goal. This performance was, without a doubt, the most impressive so far.
Trent Alexander-Arnold had already seen a goal disallowed for offside before Luis Díaz struck twice in quick succession just before halftime, putting Liverpool in complete control.
Casemiro, who endured a disastrous first half before being substituted, was at fault twice as he lost possession, allowing Díaz to head home Mohamed Salah's cross at the far post after 35 minutes, before sweeping in the Egyptian's pass in front of the Stretford End seven minutes later.
Inevitably, Salah got in on the action with his 12th goal in 15 appearances against United after 56 minutes, beating Andre Onana from Dominik Szoboszlai’s pass.
United had some chances, mostly through Joshua Zirkzee, but there were only brief moments of anxiety for Liverpool as they firmly put Ten Hag's side in their place.
