The Egyptian powered Jurgen Klopp’s men past the Red Devils on Tuesday night to send fans into overdrive
Mohamed Salah has got social media buzzing as his double act inspired Liverpool to a 4-0 triumph over Manchester United in Tuesday’s English Premier League match.
Having gone on a run of three league games without a goal, the Egyptian rediscovered his scoring form to boost the Reds’ ambitions to emerge as league champions.
After setting up Luis Diaz in the fifth minute, Salah doubled his side’s advantage in the 22nd minute courtesy of Sadio Mane’s assist.
