Liverpool star Thiago shares cheeky joke with Mo Salah after 4-0 demolition of Man Utd

Liverpool duo Thiago Alcantara and Mohamed Salah were in high spirits after their 4-0 win over Manchester United at Anfield with the midfielder even taking a cheeky dig at his team-mate. The Reds have been dominant over United in recent years at Anfield and it was the same story on Tuesday evening.

United were all at sea from the very first whistle as Liverpool dominated proceedings before Luis Diaz opened the scoring inside five minutes. Salah then scored Liverpool’s second after a brilliant piece of team play as the Reds went in at half-time 2-0 up and it could have easily been more.

Liverpool stepped off the gas after the break, but Sadio Mane soon found the net before Salah rounded off the match with his second of the night. All of Liverpool’s starting XI appeared to be playing at the top of the game but it was arguably Thiago’s best game in a Liverpool shirt at Anfield.

The Spaniard was at the heart of everything for Liverpool and he was given a standing ovation from the home crowd after coming off late in the match.

Both Thiago and Salah were up for post-match duties on Sky and before the cameras began rolling, Salah was asked by the interviewer about Thiago: “He’s alright isn’t he?” Thiago then jokingly replied: “Well, somebody has to work for him!”
