Liverpool icon Mohamed Salah believes Manchester United were fortunate to concede only three goals in their defeat at Old Trafford.
Salah was in devastating form as Liverpool made light work of their bitter rivals, coming away with a 3-0 win at Old Trafford.
The Reds were in rampant mood and the lack of resistance from Manchester United's midfield and defence meant it was always going to be a long afternoon for Erik ten Hag's men.
Salah, in particular, looked like a man in the mood, and he set up the first two goals before finishing calmly to seal the win.

Man United vs Liverpool: Casemiro scapegoated as Salah, Diaz embarrass Ten Hag at Old Trafford
Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah ran riot as Liverpool defeated a poor Manchester United side 3-0 at Old Trafford to maintain their 100% start to the season.
Salah believes Liverpool should have scored more
Speaking after the win, the Egyptian admitted being surprised at how easy the game was, suggesting Liverpool could have scored 5 or 6.
“Easy game? I was surprised… it was quite open. It could’ve finished 5 or 6, to be honest”.
Although United created opportunities in the second half, with Joshua Zirkzee coming close twice, it was ultimately a mere footnote in the game's narrative as the Reds were superior and deserved their big win.
