The colleagues of Mohamed Salah are searching for their first Premier League victory of the year after struggling in the opening two games against Fulham and Crystal Palace, dropping 4 points in the race for the title.
Manchester United had its worst start under new coach Eric Ten Hag despite losing its first and second rounds to Brighton by two goals to one and Brentford by four goals to one, respectively.
Mohamed Salah has tied the famous Steven Gerrard, a former Liverpool player, with nine goals in the English Clasico between Liverpool and Manchester United.
The Pharaoh is the only top goal scorer in El Clasico, the oldest and most prestigious football competition in England.
Salah said this in an interview with Sky Sports a few hours earlier: “I was disappointed when I missed a new opportunity to score against Manchester United in our last game.”
Not just when playing Manchester United, but every single time, I want to score and help the team.
With 119 goals, Mohamed Salah is tied with Michael Owen for third place all-time among Liverpool’s Premier League scorers. If Salah scores any goals for the Reds, Owen will drop to fourth.
With 128 goals, Robbie Fowler leads the Premier League in scoring; Steven Gerrard is second with 120.
Salah will surpass Steven Gerrard as the second-highest scorer for Liverpool in Premier League history with a hat-trick after scoring in his previous league match against Manchester United.
I definitely want to become Liverpool’s all-time leading scorer in the English Premier League, said Salah. I now have it as my goal, and I want to get there this year.
If Salah scores against United, he would join Owen in ninth position on Liverpools all-time scoring list, with 158 goals. .
Gerrard has two while Owen has two. Salah is expected to score against Manchester United to sever his ties to the Liverpool legends.
