    There's a lot of frustration in white shirts at the moment because they just can't get the ball.

    Bruno Fernandes is waving his arms in the air again.

    Liverpool 4-0 Man Utd

    Mohamed Salah equals Robbie Fowler's Premier League club record of 128 goals with his strike today.

    He has scored nine Premier League goals versus Manchester United - only Alan Shearer, with 10, has more.

    United lucky not to be down to 9 men

    Paul

    If you popped into the bookies this morning and bet on a 4-0 home win you could probably go into the bank tomorrow and clear your mortgage.

    Liverpool 4-0 Man Utd

    Manchester United players' heads have gone as Luke Shaw leaves a bit in on Darwin Nunez. He gets a talking to from the referee but the visitors need to be careful and not get someone sent off to add to a miserable day for them.

    Time for Anthony to spend some time on the bench, just really not effective enough in the league. Sancho or Garnacho a much better option surely.

    It falls to Salah and no one is near him!

    Concentration pays off with a finish like that. Great goal.

    GOAL - Liverpool 4-0 Man Utdpublished at 66 mins

    Mohamed Salah

    What a performance from Liverpool as they get another on the break!

    Mohamed Salah loves a goal against Manchester United and he gets his 11th against them as they break and a ball into the area deflects into Salah's path and he smashes in a first-time finish. David de Gea has no chance.

    As a neutral, seems very much for me a case of one team really turning up and the other not at all. I’d be fuming were I a United fan

    Nick

    Let's not forget Man Utd have played 2 games or more a week since the World Cup. Some of these players look exhausted. A defeat was inevitable

    Liverpool 3-0 Man Utd

    Scott McTominay has been on the pitch a matter of minutes and he's already picked up a booking as he catches Cody Gakpo with his leg raised on the follow through.

    As a West Ham fan it’s nice to see someone else getting an absolute stuffing. Takes your mind of relegation for a few minutes.

    Liverpool 3-0 Man Utd

    Diogo Dalot heads behind Trent Alexander-Arnold's ball into the box following a short free kick but the corner comes to nothing.

    Sir Alex Ferguson is here watching and probably can't quite believe what he's seen from the visitors. They've been superb this season but seem to have lost their heads in this half.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 60 mins

    Liverpool 3-0 Man Utd

    Here come the Manchester United changes as Alejandro Garnacho and Scott McTominay come on for Wout Weghorst and Fred.

    Meanwhile, there's a second yellow card for the visitors as Lisandro Martínez slides in late on Cody Gakpo.

    Liverpool have a free kick around 35 yards from goal.

    I'm looking at United and it's very defeatist body language.

    It's really rattled them.

  14. CLOSE!published at 58 mins

    Liverpool 3-0 Man Utd

    So close! Even the television commentator was a few words into a line about Liverpool scoring a fourth as Ibrahima Konaté flashes a header just wide from a corner.

    Manchester United need to collect themselves. They are all over the place at the moment.

    After a week where United have been praised to high heaven for winning the league cup maybe supporters can calm down about just how "back" they really are.

    Owen

    Liverpool certainly don't deserve to be 3-0 up. Surely their luck has to be over soon!

    Erik ten Hag is considering some changes to try and get his side back into this.

    Manchester United face a monumental task to do that and it is only looking like getting tougher as Andy Robertson bends a shot from distance just over.

  18. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 54 mins

    Liverpool 3-0 Man Utd

    Oooh a nervous moment in the Liverpool defence as Alisson's poor touch sees the ball get away from him and he appears to catch Bruno Fernandes as the Manchester United man looks to pounce. Nothing given.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 52 mins

    Liverpool 3-0 Man Utd

    Manchester United had some really good moments in the first half but it feels like too many of their key players have not been at their best today.

    Antony picks up a yellow card for a foul as frustrations at what has transpired perhaps get the better of him.

    If you want to know how to score a goal in transition then that is it!

    Liverpool have just shown United how to break with quality and pace.

    The run was incredible! Liverpool are on fire and Manchester United are lost.
