Mo Salah Responds To Claims He Said Manchester United Were Easy To Play Against

Salah ended his mini-goal drought with a brace at Anfield, with Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane also on target.

It was a dominant display from Jurgen Klopp's side, who had 72% possession and reduced their opponents to just the one shot on goal.

The visitors offered absolutely nothing in attack, couldn't get on the ball in midfield and were also guilty of some horrendous defending that gifted goals.

And Salah had appeared to fire shots at United, with many believing he was talking about how easy he found it playing against them.

"Anyway, I think they make our life easier in the midfield and in the back,” Salah told Sky Sports without hesitation as he and teammate Thiago Alcantara spoke with Patrick Davison.

“They always try to give us the ball just in a situation like 1v1, so that makes our lives much easier.

“So, I think when we defend, we had a clean sheet here, a clean sheet there, so that makes our lives easier to score.

“We just go to the game and want to score one goal, then once we get the first, we want to get the second, then once we get the second, we go for third. I think it’s a top performance from us here and away also. We hope that we can just carry on like this.”

It was cheeky from Salah and fans couldn't help but feel that the Egyptian had put the nail in the coffin for United:

However, the former Roma and Chelsea forward has since come out clarify his comments. Replying on Twitter, Salah explained that he was talking about his teammates making it easy for the attackers - not the United players.
