Liverpool thrash Man United 3-0 in slot’s debut victory
Arne Slot’s debut as Liverpool manager was marked by a resounding 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, thanks to a double from Luis Diaz and a goal from Mohamed Salah.
Slot, who succeeded Jurgen Klopp, has started his tenure with a perfect record, positioning Liverpool at the top of the Premier League alongside Manchester City. This latest win adds to United’s woes, leaving manager Erik ten Hag under intense scrutiny just three games into the season.
Despite a £200 million investment in new signings, including £42 million Manuel Ugarte, United’s shortcomings were evident. Casemiro, who struggled last season, was at fault for two of Liverpool’s goals and was substituted at half-time.

Mohamed Salah’s goal was his 15th against United in 16 appearances, highlighting his consistent performance against the Red Devils. Liverpool’s strong start under Slot suggests they remain strong contenders for the title, even without Klopp.
