Liverpool Demolish Manchester United: Ronaldo’s Woes ContinueLiverpool Demolish Manchester United: Ronaldo’s Woes Continue In a dominant performance at Anfield, Liverpool inflicted a humiliating 4-0 defeat on Manchester United, extending their recent woes and continuing Cristiano Ronaldo’s dismal run of form. The hosts were relentless from the opening whistle, pressurizing the United defense and creating numerous chances. Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead in the 33rd minute with a clinical finish after a flowing team move. Mohamed Salah doubled the advantage four minutes later, exploiting United’s defensive frailties to tap in from close range. United’s misery was compounded before halftime when Naby Keita’s powerful drive from outside the area found the bottom corner. In the second half, Liverpool continued to dominate, with Salah completing his brace in the 73rd minute. Ronaldo, meanwhile, struggled to make an impact for United, cutting a frustrated figure as his team collapsed around him. The result leaves United rooted to the bottom of the Premier League standings with just six points from seven games, their worst start to a season in 30 years. Ronaldo has now gone six matches without a goal, his longest drought since he joined the club last summer. For Liverpool, the victory was a statement of intent, sending a message that they remain serious title contenders. It was also a sweet revenge for their disappointing 5-0 defeat to United last season. Manager Jurgen Klopp praised his team’s performance, saying: “This was a complete performance. We controlled the game from the first minute, created chances, and defended well. It was a joy to watch.” United boss Erik ten Hag was left disappointed and frustrated: “We were not good enough today. We made too many mistakes, and Liverpool punished us for it. We need to improve quickly or we will face more setbacks.” Ronaldo’s struggles are becoming a growing concern for United fans. The Portuguese superstar has been heavily criticized for his poor form and questionable body language. It remains to be seen whether he can turn his fortunes around and help United climb the table.
