Salah equals impressive Shearer record as he scores against Man United again
Mohamed Salah loves scoring at Old Trafford – and he’s equalled a Premier League record with his latest strike in Manchester.
The Liverpool winger was on fire in his club’s main rivals Manchester United’s back yard once again, putting the Reds 3-0 up on Sunday.
Salah now has an incredible ten goals in nine appearances at Old Trafford for Liverpool in all competitions.
That makes him only the second player to score ten plus goals at a single away ground for Premier League clubs since 1992/93, the first season of the competition.
The last player to do so was ex-Blackburn and Newcastle striker Alan Shearer.
He bagged ten at Leeds United’s Elland Road during his career.
Liverpool ran rampant at Old Trafford on Sunday, with Trent Alexander-Arnold thinking he’d opened the scoring early on, only for Salah to have been deemed offside in the build-up.
But the visitors’ early frustrations were soon forgotten when Luis Diaz fired twice to put them ahead before the break.
Salah then found the net in the 56th minute in a perfect first visit to Old Trafford for new manager Arne Slot.
The Dutchman also put himself in the history books by becoming the first Liverpool manager to win their opening clash away at Manchester United since George Kay in 1936.
Salah famously scored a hat-trick at Liverpool’s foes’ ground in 2021.
That was when they dismantled the Red Devils with a 5-0 win under Jurgen Klopp.

To emphasise just how much Salah loves scoring against United, he has also either scored (ten) or assisted (six) 16 of Liverpool’s last 22 Premier League goals against them.
Liverpool go second in the table as a result of Sunday’s result, with Manchester City ahead on goals scored.
