Mohamed Salah record vs. Manchester United
Played: 16
Won: 7
Drawn: 5
Lost: 4
Goals: 15
Assists: 6
After only making the Chelsea squad for one Premier League showdown with Man United in the 2014-15 season, watching the entirety of that 1-1 draw from the bench, Salah has been involved in all but one of Liverpool's contests with the Red Devils since returning to English shores.
In that time, the Egyptian wing wizard has produced a staggering 21 direct goal contributions - 15 of his own and six assists - scoring more against the 20-time English champions than he has against any other club.
West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Arsenal have all conceded in the double figures to Salah, but Man United are officially the attacker's favourite opponent, and his 15 strikes also means that he is the highest-scoring player in the history of this fixture.
Second on the list is former Reds hero Steven Gerrard with nine to his name, although Salah had to be patient for his first contributions versus the Red Devils, drawing blanks in four meetings during the 2017-18 and 2018-19 campaigns.

The start of the 2019-20 season also marked the start of the Salah goal rush against Man United, and the ex-Chelsea man has found the mark in nine of his last 11 matches with the Red Devils across all tournaments.
The most recent of those came in September 2024, where he netted at the Theatre of Dreams for the seventh game running - and his 10th at the stadium overall - after providing two assists for Luis Diaz in a 3-0 Premier League pummelling.
Six months beforehand, Salah did what he does best at Old Trafford during the sides' gripping FA Cup quarter-final, although his effort was ultimately in vain as the Reds bowed out courtesy of a 4-3 defeat.
Salah also failed to fire - alongside his Liverpool teammates - in a goalless draw at Anfield in December 2023, which ended his five-game Premier League run of notching at least one goal or assist against the Red Devils since also blanking in January 2021.
However, the ex-Chelsea and Roma man quickly returned to scoring ways against Man United in April 2024, netting from the penalty spot to dramatically rescue a Premier League point for the Reds late on, before his scintillating September masterclass.
