Here’s our roundup of all the latest Liverpool news for Monday, September 2nd. Trent Alexander-Arnold trolls United fans.
Casemiro’s wife makes embarrassing post
Liverpool’s 3-0 triumph at Old Trafford was nothing short of remarkable, but one player’s performance for Manchester United stood out in the worst way possible.
Casemiro’s career has been admirably illustrious. The former Real Madrid star has won a boat load of trophies including five Champions Leagues, three Spanish Cups, three FIFA Club World Cups and many more. His talent was clearly showcased when he was with the Spanish giants.
However, his time at United hasn’t been quite so successful. Fans have criticised his work rate and are growing impatient with his dwindling pace and sluggish reactions.
Later that evening, Casemiro’s wife, Anna Mariano Casemiro posted a photo on her Instagram story displaying her husband’s mesmerising trophy cabinet, containing everything he has won in the game.
Mohamed Salah dropped another bombshell that all Liverpool fans feared after the Reds dismantled Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Salah stated again that he had entered his final year of his Anfield stay, words that no Liverpool fan wanted to hear after the Reds took their arch-rivals apart on their own patch.
“As you know it’s my last year in the club, I don’t want to think about it, I just want to enjoy it,” Salah said.
“I feel I am free to play football and we’ll see what can happen next year.”
It is fair to say Trent Alexander-Arnold put in a stellar display against Manchester United, contributing to a defensive and passing masterclass against Liverpool’s most hated rivals.
But Trent also presented his personality in many different ways both during and after the game.
Trent kissed the camera in a Steven Gerrard-esque manner after seemingly scoring the goal to put the Reds into the lead against United before this was disallowed for offside.
However, this bold statement didn’t deter him and after the game, he reminded the Liverpool fans of the dominance displayed on the pitch by gesturing to them the final score in a comedic manner followed by a final farewell kiss to the travelling Kop.
Stelling issues Salah warning
New sporting director Richard Hughes has a huge decision to make over the future of Mohamed Salah.
The Egyptian international as well as Trent Alexander Arnold and Virgil van Dijk have all entered the final years of their contracts and the trio could leave Anfield next summer as free agents if no new deals are agreed.
Salah has answered his critics in style, scoring in all three of Liverpool’s opening Premier League fixtures, including the 3-0 win over Manchester United.
Following the win at Old Trafford, the 32-year-old dropped a bombshell in his post-match interview, stating it could be the last time he plays at the alleged Theatre of Dreams.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Jeff Stelling warned Liverpool chiefs that they are making a mistake if they let Salah leave next summer.
Liverpool legend spots Szoboszlai change
Former Liverpool defender Steve Nicol has identified a slight alteration to Dominik Szoboszlai’s role under new manager Arne Slot.
Szoboszlai has been one of many Liverpool stars to impress in their perfect start to the 2024/25 Premier League campaign.
It was expected that Slot would utilise a more advanced midfielder with a double pivot behind them, and that role has been given to the Hungarian.
The 23 year-old sees himself in much more advanced positions as opposed to last season under Jurgen Klopp where he operated on the right side of a midfield three.
Gerrard’s message to TAA
Trent Alexander-Arnold was a sent a message by Steven Gerrard after Liverpool’s victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Things could not have gone better for Liverpool against their fiercest rivals on Sunday afternoon.
Arne Slot’s side absolutely demolished a tepid United team and a quick flurry of three goals saw the Reds gain an insurmountable lead.
But it could have been even more had it not been for the intervention of VAR.
Carragher compares Gravenberch to all-time great
A year ago yesterday on September 1, Ryan Gravenberch joined Liverpool from Bayern Munich. Flash forward to the present on the anniversary of his signing against Manchester United, Liverpool look like they are beginning to reap the rewards from the young Dutch star.
Gravenberch’s fee of £34.2 million seemed a bargain for the youngster who displayed powerful and dominant performances while in Germany. However, he struggled to fit into Liverpool’s system in Jurgen Klopp’s final season, mainly coming off the bench in Premier League fixtures.
However, Gravenberch’s start to the 2024/25 season has been immense and his performance against United illustrated this.
