Manchester United are trailing 3-0 against Liverpool at Old Trafford, with their struggles against Liverpool’s pressing game once again evident.
The situation has deteriorated rapidly for Erik ten Hag’s team, who now face a challenging season after this heavy defeat on their home ground.
The match began with some promise for United, despite Trent Alexander-Arnold‘s goal being disallowed for offside. The Red Devils appeared to be gaining momentum, showing potential on counterattacks. However, their hopes were dashed due to two costly errors by Casemiro. Luis Diaz capitalized on these mistakes, scoring twice before halftime to give Liverpool a 2-0 lead.
Things continued to spiral for Manchester United after the break. Mohamed Salah added a third goal shortly after the restart, further compounding United’s woes. Salah’s strike not only sealed the game but also marked a record for the most direct goal contributions against Manchester United in the league’s history.
The match highlights United’s ongoing issues with Liverpool’s high press and raises concerns about their ability to recover and compete effectively this season.
