Man United’s regular tormentor Mohamed Salah is ‘getting better with age’ and ‘wants to write a few more stories’ insists Andy Robertson – as Liverpool defender reveals what it’s like to play under new boss Arne Slot

It’s bad news for Manchester United that regular tormentor Mo Salah is stronger than ever as he enters the final year of his contract at Anfield.

Salah has scored 14 goals in 15 appearances against United – more than against any other club – and became the first opposition player to celebrate a Premier League hat-trick at Old Trafford in 2023 when Liverpool won 5-0.

At 32, the Egyptian has started the season in red-hot form with goals in each of his first two games and has said he’s going to ‘enjoy’ what could be his final 12 months at the club.

‘You can see the shape he’s in. He is getting better with age in terms of his physical output and attributes,’ says team-mate Andy Robertson.

‘He is a big-game player. His goals and assists speak for themselves and he always shows up against our rivals.

‘The minute he walked through this door he’s set Anfield and other stadiums alight.

‘He is a Premier League legend, of course he is, but still wanting to write a few more stories and hopefully that is him showing up in other big games this season.’

Liverpool go to Old Trafford today having failed to beat United in three meetings last season including an epic 4-3 defeat in the FA Cup.

However, they have yet to drop a point or concede a goal under new manager Arne Slot with Salah still providing the x-factor.

‘Obviously he is our main man and teams try to stop him,’ added Robertson.

‘Mo knows when a big game is on the horizon but he also sets standards every single day. He’s a model professional and if any kids or anyone are looking at professionals to base themselves on, then Mohamed Salah is not a bad person to do it to.

‘He dedicates his life to football.’

Slot has introduced a more controlled style of play than Klopp who encouraged full-backs Trent Alexander-Arnold and Robertson to get forward at every opportunity.

Robertson added: ‘He [Slot] has left no stone unturned and it is up to us to go out and perform at the weekend’

‘So far the start has been excellent. Everyone has enjoyed learning a new way of playing and trying to implement the manager’s ideas,’ explained Robertson.

‘We still have that freedom to help our wingers and overlap but defensively we have worked on certain things to hopefully become more defensively secure as a unit.

‘He has left no stone unturned and it is up to us to go out and perform at the weekend. We’ve done that so far but this will be a different test.’
