United were completely outplayed by their arch-rivals on Sunday, October 24, with Mohamed Salah scoring a hat trick to inspire the Reds to victory at Old Trafford.

Ferguson, who is widely regarded as United's most successful manager was in attendance at the Theatre of Dreams to cheer on his former side.

However, the encounter 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.

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.

Ronaldo sends message to fans

Earlier, TUKO.co.ke reported Cristiano Ronaldo has sent an impassioned message to Man United fans in the wake of their defeat to Liverpool.

The Portuguese talisman who saw his goal against the Reds chalked off for an offside admitted players were to blame for the loss.

"Sometimes the result is not the one we fight for. Sometimes the score is not the one we want. And this is on us, only on us, because there’s no one else to blame. Our fans were, once again, amazing in their constant support," he posted on Instagram.
"They deserve better than this, much better, and it’s up to us to deliver. The time is now!" He added.
