Sunday’s clash between Manchester United and Liverpool at Old Trafford is set to be the highlight of matchday three in the 2024/25 Premier League.
Arne Slot’s side aims to secure their third win in as many games and join Manchester City at the top of the table.
Egypt international Mohamed Salah will be crucial in their bid to defeat his favourite opponents, The Red Devils.
Liverpool have started the season strong, securing 2-0 wins against Ipswich Town and Brentford, with Salah netting a goal in each match.
Meanwhile, Manchester United seem to be continuing last season's form, which saw them finish eighth.
They began with a 1-0 home win over Fulham but were dealt a last-minute defeat by Brighton last weekend, increasing the pressure on manager Erik Ten Hag.
Salah’s goalscoring record vs Manchester United
Adding to Manchester United's woes, they now face Salah, who has a history of thriving against them.
According to Diario AS, no player has scored more goals in matches between these two clubs, and Salah has netted more times against United than any other team in his career, surpassing his tallies against Tottenham (12) and both Manchester City and West Ham (11 each).
Man United vs Liverpool encounters
While Salah's individual stats against United are impressive, Ten Hag may find some solace in Liverpool's overall team record during his time.
In the 14 meetings with their rivals, Liverpool have won six, drawn five, and lost four— a mixed bag considering United's struggles during much of Salah's Premier League career.
Since joining the league, Salah has faced United 15 times, scoring 14 goals and providing four assists, averaging 1.2 goal contributions per game against them.
