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.

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.
