Nothing can resist him anymore. Alone, Mohamed Salah made the theater of dreams experience a real nightmare. The Liverpool striker participated in the humiliation of the Red Devils by scoring a hat-trick and delivering an assist on the occasion of the ninth day of the Premier League on Sunday 24 October. He became the first player to score three goals against Manchester United, at Old Trafford, since 2003 and the Brazilian Ronaldo with Real Madrid. A performance that confirms his excellent form since the start of the season.

The Egyptian was able to count on the very good sense of the collective of his teammates. His first achievement (38th) was the result of a good combination at the start with Jota and Firmino, which allowed him to find himself alone at the penalty spot after a first counter strike. Then, the Egyptian found himself alone a few meters from the cage and followed up with a low strike with the flat of the left foot (45th + 5).
On his third achievement, he went to seek his goal alone after being served by Henderson, to land a small dive with his left foot (50th). Sir Alex Ferguson’s rumped face spoke volumes about the distress the Liverpool striker was causing, as Mancunian fans began to leave the stands.
“I still have the ambition to be the best player in the world. I don’t feel like lying. It’s something that makes me work really hard and try to be the best version of myself – same”, he confided in a maintenance according to Sky Sports published before the meeting. “In my head, I’m the best player all the time.“
Author of fifteen goals in barely twelve games, including ten in the Premier League and five in the Champions League, Mohamed Salah has made an impressive start to the season. He became the top African scorer in the history of the Premier League (106), two units ahead of Didier Drogba and six ahead of his teammate Sadio Mané.
