Liverpool vs Manchester United: 5 players who will influence the outcome

#2 Mo Salah

Mo Salah

Over the international break, Salah took the winning penalty to send Egypt to their first World Cup since 1990, and so he will be on a high.

Salah has already shown what he is capable of this season, with his electric speed, waltz-like runs past defenders, and his ability to find his man in the box, or to cut inside and shoot.

He is a menace for any opposition defender and will look to show these same qualities against Manchester United.

Salah allows Liverpool’s frontline to be incredibly fluid; the front four all like to interchange positions, especially Firmino, who acts as a false nine.
