Historic Manita to sentence Solskjaer

There was still more than half an hour to go at Old Trafford when chants began to be heard towards Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, although not from his own hobby.. It was the Liverpool fans who decided to take the initiative to animate the last minutes of a sentenced, historic, humiliating match for Manchester United (0-5), which will go down in the history of the Premier League: “Solskjaer must stay, can we play against you every week?” Shouted the ‘reds’ from one of the corners of the Theater of Dreams.

Liverpool have dug the grave of Solskjaer, much questioned in recent weeks, who only the comeback against Atalanta in the Champions League has kept him safely in place. Before reaching the fifth minute of the game, Naby Keita scored the fastest goal in the history of the ‘reds’ at Old Trafford (4’42 ”). From that moment on, only records and statistics that sank Manchester United more and more and that confirmed the distance between one and the other, leaving Jürgen Klopp’s men as the great winners, since the main difference was tactical. Each movement of the visitors was a headache for Maguire, Shaw, Lindelöf and company, unable to stop the tornado ‘red’.

As soon as Keita opened the scoring, Liverpool’s walk was anthological and not so much because of his superiority, but because of the weakness that a Manchester United showed that put the red carpet for his rival, with the exception of De Gea, who saved those he could save . In total, only one match without conceding in the last 21 disputed: a figure that speaks for itself.

From there came Diogo Jota’s 0-2 after an assist from Alexander-Arnold, and then two goals from Mo Salah, imperial during the first half. The Egyptian drove Maguire crazy and forced him to leave his area to finish him off in the area. At halftime, a final, final 0-4, only at the expense of the size of the win. The first half ended with a fight that triggered a frustrating kick from Cristiano Ronaldo to Curtis Jones.

The second forty-five minutes served for the Liverpool fans to draw their own repertoire of songs, for Salah to put the stamp with his hattrick and for Pogba, who entered the break, was expelled in 60 after an entry to Keita that could not continue. Although Cristiano scored a good goal, the goal was canceled by VAR.

The next few hours will be decisive for Solskjaer’s future at the club. In the last three games, the Red Devils have conceded 11 goals. The team works as two entities that do not know each other, the attack and the defense, and only the first is decisive, but it does not always manage to pull the weight of the second. Meanwhile, Liverpool smile: 27 goals in favor in the nine games played in the Premier League and Salah continues to confirm himself as the best footballer in the league … waiting to renew his contract, which ends in 2023.
