Salah was the star of the show in that derby as he bagged a hat trick that saw Liverpool completely outclassing their opponents at Old Trafford.

Prior to his goals, Liverpool was well on course for victory courtesy of goals from Naby Keita and Diogo Jota.

Salah would then go on to complete the rout with a hat trick between 38th and 50th minutes.

Taking to Twitter on Thursday, November 18, Salah said:

“I will be donating, for auction, the jersey I used in the match of 24 Oct. 2021 against Manchester United, with all proceeds of the auction to go to an animal charity in Egypt. I will let you know where and how to bid.”
“Kindness to animals is the duty of every human being,” the Liverpool star went on.

While no further details of the auction have been released, it is highly likely that the shirt will go for a stupendous price to the highest bidder.

Of Superstars and matchday shirt auctions

It is not strange to see football superstar’s items being auctioned for a great cause.

More recently, Cristiano Ronaldo’s shirt which he wore in the win over Tottenham Hotspur and the 2-0 derby loss to Manchester City were put up for auction to raise money for the Royal British Legion.

According to Daily mail, bidding for the shirt in the Spurs win had reached a whopping £36,000 (KSh 5.4 million).
