What is Mohamed Salah’s record against Manchester United? Games, goals, assists, wins…
The Liverpool forward found the net for the seventh consecutive time against United on Sunday and tops the club’s all-time goals chart against their eternal rivals.
This evening’s game between Manchester United and Liverpool at Old Trafford was one of the highlights of the Week 3 fixtures in the 2024/25 Premier League, and in the end it was the visitors who came out on top.
Arne Slot’s team made nine points out of a possible nine to join Manchester City at the top of the table. Mohamed Salah meanwhile continued his incredible run against The Red Devils, his favourite victims.
After finding the net in both of the first two games against Ipswich Town and Brentford, Salah was on the scoresheet for the third week in a row, sweeping in the Reds’ third of the evening after Luis Díaz had put them 0-2 up.

Mohamed Salah’s superb goal scoring record against Manchester United
Salah just loves playing and scoring against United.
Since moving to the Premier League, the Egyptian has played against United 16 times and scored 15 goals, 12 of which have come in the Premier League. He has also provided six assists, which means he averages 1.3 goal contributions per game against The Red Devils.
No player has scored more goals in matches between the two clubs, while Salah has netted more times against United than against any other team in his career (12 versus Spurs, 11 against Manchester City and West Ham).
Arne Slot matches Bob Paisley
In the battle between the two Dutch manages, Arne Slot became the first Liverpool coach to beat United in his first attempt since Bob Paisley.
Paisley’s Reds ran out 3-1 winners at Anfield on 8 November 1975 - his first encounter with United since taking the reins from Bill Shankly. United had spent Bob’s first season in charge in the Second Division and were promoted back to the top flight for the 1975-76 campaign. Heighway, Toshack and Keegan were on target for the home side with Steve Coppell pulling one back for United.
Liverpool have won seven, drawn five and lost four of the 16 meetings between the two rivals during Salah’s time in England.
