FootballApart from the scoreline, the other highlight of the game was Salah leaving Martinez for dead to set up Gakpo's second goal and Liverpool's third goal.
Liverpool sprung a counterattack with Salah coming up one on one against Martinez. The Argentine has been near impermeable for United this season despite questions about his height.
Salah, however, turned him inside out before setting up Gakpo, who chipped the ball over David de Gea, who was quickly closing him down.
Ten Hag put Martinez out of misery by hooking him off in the 77th minute for Tyrell Malacia. The 25-year-old was signed from Ajax, following ten Hag at the start of the season, and blended in well alongside Raphael Varane.
The Liverpool defeat will provide an opportunity for United to reassess themselves as they pursue trophies in the FA Cup and Europa League.
