Mohamed Salah addresses interview answer that Man Utd fans took as a dig

Mohamed Salah has put the record straight after Manchester United fans fumed at his post-match comments following Liverpool's 4-0 romping over the Red Devils.

The Reds star, 29, bagged a brace as Jurgen Klopp's side humiliated their arch-rivals for the second time this season. The free-scoring forward coolly slotted past David de Gea after 22 minutes before rounding off the scoring with a dinked finish in the dying embers of the game.

The result left Man Utd fans seething at the full-time whistle and their rage was further enhanced by Salah's post-match comments. The Egyptian maestro appeared to aim a dig at Ralf Rangnick's side: "They make our life easier in the midfield and the back.

"They always try to give us the ball in a one-against one-situation. So they make our lives much easier so I think when we defend well, we had a clean sheet here [at Anfield] and a clean sheet there [during Liverpool's 5-0 win at Old Trafford] they make our lives easier to score."

United fans believed the remark was a sly dig at their shoddy defending and poor passing as the away side constantly gifted possession back to Liverpool. Klopp's side dominated the game from the outset with 72 per cent of the ball.

However, Salah has taken to social media to put the record straight. He tweeted: "I meant our midfield, and our defence, make it easy for us. I was not talking about the Manchester United players whom I respect."

After lighting up the Premier League once again as the leading goalscorer Salah is on for another outstanding season. The silky winger has netted 30 times this term in the top-flight and the Champions League and his goals could prove vital in the Reds' search for a historic quadruple.
