'He Should Not Start Every Game': Mohamed Salah Handed Reality Check After Manchester United Humiliate Liverpool At Anfield

Manchester United handed a hammer blow to Liverpool's Premier League title defence. Bruno Fernandes and Co. inflicted a 2-1 defeat on Arne Slot's side, their 4th loss on the bounce in all competitions.

Jamie Carragher Has A Message For Mohamed Salah

United looked solid throughout the match and didn't provide any room for the Liverpool attackers. United's defence kept Mohamed Salah quiet on the right, who otherwise has a very good record against the Red Devils. Apart from a single chance, the 33-year-old failed to create much on a day he needed to produce his magic at Anfield.

Salah signed a new two-year deal to extend his stay at the club, but hasn't managed to replicate his form this campaign. The Egyptian winger only found the net twice in the English top flight, and Jamie Carragher feels Salah shouldn't start games for Liverpool away from home.

In an interaction with Sky Sports, he said, "Liverpool have got two away games - in the Champions League at Frankfurt and then they go to Brentford. I don't think Salah should start both of those games.

“He should always start at Anfield because Liverpool will be on top, around the edge of the box and more often than not he scores in those situations today.”

Cody Gakpo threatened a number of times, and he hit the post once. He eventually levelled the scoring just at the stroke of 78 minutes as the United backline allowed the Reds to squeeze in one. But Harry Maguire had other plans. The United defender rose high to meet Bruno Fernandes' pinpoint cross to hand United their first win at Anfield since 2016.
