How Sir Alex Ferguson reacted to Man United's humiliation at Old Trafford

The defeat was however too much for Sir Alex Ferguson to handle as the reaction on the legend's face during the game was heart-breaking.

Ferguson who is regarded as the Red Devils most successful manager was in attendance at the Theatre of Dreams to cheer on his former side.

But, the result did not end in Fergie's favour as he watched helplessly United get hammered at home.

Just after Salah struck in the 50th minute to complete his treble, Sky Sports cameras cut to a clearly disheartened Fergie who sighed in disbelief as reported by SunSport.

The legendary Scottish manager could only shake his head in disbelief as Liverpool sealed a famous win at Man United.

The reaction came only moments after Fergie was filmed heading inside in disbelief when the full-time whistle blew. At the time, the Red Devils were already trailing 4-0 after the hosts' implosion.

Nabby Keita and Diogo Jota gave the visitors a dream start at Old Trafford before Salah struck twice before the break to ensure Liverpool head into the break with an advantage.

Liverpool's victory was enough to help them leapfrog rivals Man City to second place as the Red Devils dropped to seventh with 14 points.

The 36-year-old scored a brilliant individual effort in the second half but the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) ruled it for an offside.
