Liverpool's Luis Díaz was the standout performer as his brace led Liverpool to a dominant 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The Colombian forward's stunning second goal drew praise from fans on social media, with one user describing it as "sublime." Mohamed Salah also starred with two assists and a goal, earning plaudits for his exceptional performance.
The comprehensive win by Liverpool silenced critics who doubted their ability to compete at the highest level, with one fan relieved that the victory would silence calls for changes in the team.
Despite the convincing display, some on social media reduced the win to routine due to Manchester United's current form, labeling them as a mid-table team. However, Salah was hailed as one of the all-time top five Premier League players for his continued brilliance on the pitch.
Conversely, there were comments questioning Manchester United's progress, highlighting the significant financial investments made without clear improvements on the pitch. A fan compared the team's recent performances to a few years back when they suffered heavy defeats but noted a slight improvement in the latest 3-0 loss.
The atmosphere at Old Trafford was tense, with fans expressing disappointment in coach Erik ten Hag's strategies. Criticism of Ten Hag's coaching abilities intensified following recent poor results, with fans labeling him as a "fraud."
Despite Bruno Fernandes claiming it was a tight game, Liverpool's dominance was evident, overshadowing performances by Manchester United players like Fernandes, whose subdued presence was criticized. The result left Manchester United supporters frustrated, questioning the leadership and direction of the team under Ten Hag.
As Liverpool celebrates a convincing victory, Manchester United faces growing scrutiny and pressure to turn their season around as they search for a path to success in the Premier League.
