Mohamed Salah has already written his name into the legendary books of Liverpool, regardless of what he now does until his career finishes.
From helping Jurgen Klopp’s side win the European Cup to scoring a hat-trick at Old Trafford. Moments that will live long in the memory of Liverpool fans.
One record that Mohamed Salah holds is the most goals, as a Liverpool player, against the club’s bitter old rivals, Manchester United – 12 in 13 matches.
Paul Scholes stated that the £35 million signing, who was previously on Chelsea’s books, is ‘annoying’, but someone who simply can’t be stopped, as he told Premier League Productions (17/12/23 at 1:20 pm).
One of the most feared players in the Premier League and in Europe, it could be argued that the 31-year-old is the best player in England today.
His all-round game is better than Manchester City’s goal machine, Erling Haaland, with Kevin de Bruyne probably being the one to challenge him to that top label.
Mohamed Salah against Manchester United
“He is annoying for us,” said Scholes about Salah scoring more goals against Man United than any other Liverpool player in history.
“But he is brilliant, isn’t he?! You see his finishes there. As you mentioned, the big games. When the games matter, he is always there.
“The goals against Manchester City. The goals against Manchester United. All the big games.
“You always think ‘how could we stop him?’ A lot of his goals are very similar when he cuts in from that right-hand side. And you are thinking ‘how can it happen all the time?’ But he just has that much quality. You just can’t stop him. You know what’s coming, but can’t stop it.”
Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United
Well, when Erik ten Hag’s side just seem to be in a dark place and fearing the worst, they manage to stop Liverpool from causing more damage.
Before a ball was kicked at Anfield on Sunday, many would have been captaining Salah in their FPL teams because he was going to deliver points galore.
But just like the rest of his Liverpool teammates, he was stopped, suffocated and prevented from scoring his 13th goal against Manchester United.
There is no doubt that the result suits ten Hag’s side more, especially given their recent results against the Merseyside club.
As for Liverpool, they missed the chance to go top of the Premier League table, with Arsenal now sitting top of the tree after beating Brighton.
