Liverpool Demolish Manchester United to Maintain Perfect Start Under Slot

Arne Slot passed his first major test as Liverpool manager with a decisive 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, thanks to goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah.

Slot, who succeeded Jurgen Klopp, has made a flawless start to his tenure, winning all three of his Premier League games so far. This perfect record sees Liverpool sitting level with Manchester City at the top of the table.

"Everything you want to see as a manager you saw in this game," Slot commented after the match.

Manchester United's second consecutive defeat places manager Erik ten Hag under early pressure. After overseeing United's worst-ever Premier League finish of eighth last season, Ten Hag had survived an internal review, and a surprise FA Cup win over Manchester City had initially provided some hope. Despite being backed with a £200 million transfer budget, United's recurring issues were evident in this game.

"It's not like I'm Harry Potter," Ten Hag said. "We just had a third game in the season and again we have to build a new team. We will be fine. It's clear we have to improve but at the end of the season I'm quite confident that we will have a big chance to lift another trophy."

Casemiro, who was responsible for both of Diaz's goals, was substituted at half-time in favor of Toby Collyer. United had introduced new £42 million
