Mohamed Salah has insisted that he was "not talking about the Manchester United players" in his post-match interview following Liverpool's 4-0 win over their arch-rivals at Anfield.

Salah had said to Sky Sports: “They make our life easier in the midfield and at the back. They always try to give us the ball in a situation like one against one. So they make our life much easier.

"We have a clean sheet here, a clean sheet there [at Old Trafford]. We get to the game and want to score one goal. Once we get the first, we want to get the second, once we get the second we’ll go for a third.

“But I think it’s a top performance from us, here and away. Hopefully we’ll carry on like this.”

It has been reported that the Egyptian was being critical of United, but he has taken to social media to clarify what he meant.

"I meant our midfield, and our defence, make it easy for us," Salah wrote on Twitter. "I was not talking about the Manchester United players whom I respect."
