Manchester United suffered one of their most humiliating defeats in recent memory as rivals Liverpool piled pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in a 5-0 annihilation which saw Mohamed Salah score a hat-trick and Paul Pogba get his 3rd red card in United colours.
United's performance was nothing short of shambolic as Liverpool feasted on inept defending and questionable tactics, going ahead after five minutes through Naby Keita's low finish having been released through on goal.
Diogo Jota made it 2-0 at the far post from Trent Alexander-Arnold's centre after miscommunication between Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw, before Salah scored for the 10th straight game in all competitions, converting near post from Keita's pass.
Salah then completed his hat-trick, touching past David de Gea from Henderson's excellent pass, and the hosts went down to 10 men as half-time substitute Pogba saw red for a high tackle on Keita, who was brought off on a stretcher.
United somehow saw out the game without more damage, but having conceded 11 goals in three games, and sitting eight points off the top of a Premier League they had promised to challenge for after a busy summer window, pressure on Solskjaer is at an all-time high.
Liverpool move second after a dazzling display, and remain unbeaten since May after Jurgen Klopp's 200th win as manager, reaching the milestone in fewer games than any other Reds coach.
