When the Red Devils lost 4-0 at home to Liverpool on Tuesday, interim manager Ralf Rangnick said the Red Devils were “six years” behind the Liverpool team. Jurgen Klopp’s team thrashed Manchester United 5-0 at Old Trafford in October, which happened again.
Mohamed Salah scored twice, Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane also scored, and Liverpool showed the huge difference between the two teams. We still need Manchester City to lose their last seven league games for Liverpool to be able to win this year’s title, though.
Afterward, Rangnick will step down, and Ajax manager Erik ten Hag is said to be taking over.

He said that the way Klopp has changed the fortunes of Liverpool is an example for United to follow.
He said that it was “disappointing,” “embarrassing,” or even “humiliating.”
Six years ago, they were ahead of us. We have to accept that.” When Jurgen Klopp came to the club, things changed. The club and the city were raised to a new level, not just the team.
“That’s what we need to do in the next transfer window.”
Because of Liverpool and City’s close, there is now a 22-point gap between them and United in sixth place. Only Tottenham and Arsenal’s mistakes keep the Red Devils from qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
There were holes in the United defense that Rangnick tried to fill. PhilJones was called up for his second Premier League appearance since January 2020 as part of a back five.
They were cut open in just five minutes, but it took longer.
Mane’s through ball found Salah in a lot of space, and he found Diaz to finish from close range.
As Salah said, “They always try to give us the ball when we are one-on-one, so it makes our lives a lot easier.”
There is a lot of love for Ronaldo.
When Cristiano Ronaldo came on, the two most successful teams in English football put their fierce rivalry on hold for a moment.
On Monday, after he said that his newborn baby son had died, the Portuguese star didn’t play for United.
There was applause from fans on all sides of Anfield for one minute. The Liverpool fans sang their anthem, “You’ll never walk alone.”
Klopp said, “That was my moment of the game.” Many things in life are more important than football, and Cristiano and his family are very important.
There was a lot of one-way traffic on the field, but United couldn’t get out of their half.
A second goal for Liverpool looked like it was going to happen, and when it did, it was of the best quality.
When Joel Matip put the ball in Mane’s hands, he fizzed it. The Senegalese threw a first-time pass over the top for Salah.
As he cushioned the ball into his path and put it past David de Gea, the Egyptian didn’t show any fear. He had not scored for Liverpool from open play since February.
Half-time gave Manchester United a break, and after the break, they did a lot better thanks to Jadon Sancho.
But Liverpool was still the most dangerous team in attack, and Mane calmly put in the third goal from Diaz’s cross to end any chance of a United comeback.
Salah lifted the ball over De Gea from Diogo Jota’s pass in the last five minutes of the game. Salah now has 30 goals for the season, five of which have come in two games against Manchester United.
