Arne Slot oversaw a piece of Liverpool history with his side’s 3-0 victory at Manchester United on Sunday afternoon. A brace from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah’s second-half finish gave the head coach a third successive competitive win since his appointment during the summer. Slot’s men registered a third clean sheet in a row too, making him the first Reds boss for 131 years to have shutouts in each of his first three league games – and the first ever to do it for the club in the top flight. Meanwhile, the Dutchman became the first Liverpool boss to win…
Mohamed Salah underscored his influence to Liverpool at Old Trafford and then intensified the pressure on the club to offer him a new contract after admitting no talks have yet been held. The 32-year-old is in the final year of his deal and has maintained he is not wasting mental energy focusing on the situation. However, Sky Sports News understands his preference would be to remain with the Anfield side. Salah has not considered any other club yet but feels he still has years left at the highest level. He wants to be competing for the biggest prizes and so…
It was almost as if Manchester United were rubbing Liverpool’s noses in it. After the Reds had a very public snubbing in their pursuit of a new number six this summer, United chose before kick-off at Old Trafford on Sunday to parade their new signing Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain. Less than 45 minutes in, though, United would no doubt have wanted to throw on their latest acquisition given the manner in which the Reds exposed the ageing legs and tired mind of Casemiro. And key to that was the performance of Ryan Gravenberch, the player to whom Arne Slot…
Arne Slot’s side cruised to a 3-0 win away from home thanks to a brace from Luis Diaz and a strike from Mohammed Salah, but the game was not without its controversy. The Hungarian midfielder had a gilt-edged chance to put his side 4-0 up at Old Trafford with the goal at his mercy, but took extra touches to showboat rather than pulling the trigger, which saw the chance go begging. The Sky pundits, speaking on Sky Sport’s main event channel, labelled Szoboszlai “cocky” and “unprofessional” following the incident, expressing concern that it could have spared a United comeback. “What…
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville thought he had the last laugh after Trent Alexander-Arnold’s goal was chalked off for Liverpool. The Reds thought they were in front after just six minutes when goal-line technology ruled the full-back’s effort was over the line. However, Mohamed Salah was adjudged to have been in an offside position and interfered with play from Luis Diaz’s cut-back. Alexander-Arnold wheeled away, re-enacting Steven Gerrard’s iconic Old Trafford celebration as he kissed the pitchside camera. But the effort went to VAR, Liverpool were left disappointed by the decision and Alexander-Arnold’s Steven Gerrard-like celebration was left in…

Salah is back doing what he does best, scoring at Old TraffordCredit: Getty Salah now has an incredible ten goals in nine appearances at Old Trafford for Liverpool in all competitions.

Liverpool and Manchester United locked horns for the first time in the 2024/25 Premier League season on Sunday. It is also the first time that Arne Slot faced Erik ten Hag in England after their battles in the Netherlands. The Reds came into the fixture after two wins from their opening two games of the season after defeating Ipswich Town and Brentford. United welcomed Slot’s men to Old Trafford after losing 2-1 to Brighton last week. In Manchester, Liverpool thought they had got off to the perfect start when a well-worked team move ended in the ball crossing the…
Liverpool almost signed a surprise player before transfer deadline day and the club could return for him in the January window. According to ESPN, Liverpool came ‘very close’ to completing a deal for Cesar Huerta before the transfer deadline passed. The club wanted to bring in the 23-year-old Mexican winger before sending him out on loan to Sunderland. Despite coming close and striking an agreement with Cesar Huerta in the end, Sunderland thwarted the club’s efforts with the Championship side pulling out of the deal to bring him to the club on loan. Liverpool signed Federico Chiesa on Thursday for…
Owen represented both clubs during his illustrious playing career, scoring 17 goals across 52 appearances for United from 2009-12. The former striker is also a major figure in Liverpool’s history with 152 goals across 297 appearances. It was back in 2009 that Owen decided to sign for United, risking the wrath of supporters from the Anfield club. Owen had progressed through the youth ranks at Liverpool, but won a Premier League title with United under Sir Alex Ferguson and is a part of both club’s respected histories. With United set to host Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend, Owen’s…
The summer transfer window ended with Liverpool unable to sign the defensive midfielder that was desperately needed (let alone any defensive reinforcements), however, within disappointment still lies hope for what can come. Arne Slot has brought a new and clinical style to Merseyside, which has thus far delivered two comprehensive wins against Ipswich and Brentford (both two nil victories), to kick off the 2024/24 campaign in style. With a strong defensive resilience that has earned consecutive clean sheets, there is renewed hope that a post Jürgen Klopp world is not all that daunting. Manchester United remain the biggest historical rivals…
