Alan Shearer reveals the FOUR Liverpool Stars who shocked Manchester United in his team of the week

Liverpool have climbed to joint-first place in the Premier League after a convincing 3-0 win over Manchester United.

Following the victory, Steven Gerrard sent a message to Trent Alexander-Arnold, praising him for his role in securing another impressive win against their rivals.

Chris Sutton had forecasted a Liverpool win over Manchester United, and that prediction proved accurate for Arne Slot and his squad.

Luis Diaz scored twice, and Mohamed Salah added a third goal as Liverpool defeated the Red Devils in Manchester with ease.

Liverpool now holds nine points from their first three games, matching the record of only reigning champions Manchester City.

Alan Shearer included four Liverpool players in his Team of the Week following the latest Premier League matches, with manager Slot also receiving recognition.

Shearer highlighted Virgil van Dijk, remarking, “Another immense performance by Liverpool’s captain.”

He also praised midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, noting, “With all the talk about Liverpool needing a midfielder, Gravenberch has stepped up massively. He won possession several times and was a forward threat.”

Attackers Salah and Diaz were also featured, with Shearer commenting on Salah: “He just loves this fixture. Two assists, another goal, could have had a hat-trick. Hopefully, it won’t be his last match at Old Trafford.”

Of Diaz, Shearer said: “A livewire from the start. Manchester United couldn’t cope with his pace or skill, and he capped off an excellent display with a brace.”

Shearer also named Slot his manager of the week, praising his start at Liverpool: “He’s got Liverpool almost perfectly tuned after only three matches in charge.”

Liverpool impressed across the board against Manchester United, who have had a rocky start to the season.

Historically, this fixture has been challenging for Liverpool, as Jurgen Klopp experienced in his final season, with the previous league encounters ending in draws and Manchester United eliminating Liverpool from the FA Cup.

However, there were no issues this time for Slot and his team, who delivered a highly professional performance.

Defensively, Alisson was crucial in maintaining a clean sheet, while his defenders were focused and effective.

Gravenberch excelled in Manchester, alongside his midfield partners, while the attackers showcased another formidable performance.
