Mohamed Salah supplied a goal and an assist as Liverpool eased to a victory which ended with the home fans taunting City boss Pep Guardiola about"getting sacked in the morning". Chelsea continue to thrive under Enzo Maresca with a 3-0 home win against a struggling Aston Villa the latest evidence that the Italian might have found the right formula at Stamford Bridge. His side are joint second with Arsenal on 25 points.
Salah set up Cody Gakpo for a tap-in after 12 minutes and but for two glaring misses by Virgil van Dijk Liverpool would have been out of sight before halftime. United are currently nowhere near being title contenders but Portuguese Amorim has quickly spread some joy around Old Trafford. Sunday was United's biggest victory margin in a league game since a 5-1 win over Leeds United in 2021 and lifted them three spots to ninth in the table after 13 games, only four points behind fourth-placed Brighton and Hove Albion.
"It helps to have a new face, it always helps," Amorim said."We have to be very clear to our fans and this will always help. Rather than trying to convince the fans about this performance we have a lot to do, it will take time."
