We want 10! That was the chant from Liverpool's away end as Manchester United were beaten 5-0 at Old Trafford. The night still stands out because of the scoreline, the noise from the travelling support, and the way Mohamed Salah kept driving the game in Liverpool's favour.
The away end and the scale of the night
It was Mohamed Salah who set the tone with a hat-trick, while Diogo Jota and Naby Keita also scored for Liverpool. Around 3,000 Liverpool fans were packed into the Old Trafford away corner, and the chant for 10 captured the mood once the result had slipped beyond doubt.
The rivalry context made the evening feel bigger than a routine away win. This was Manchester United's 100th home meeting with Liverpool, and only 18 of those 100 home meetings over the last 126 years had ended in an away win.
Why the result still lands so hard
The raw numbers still explain why the night is remembered. Manchester United are 14th in the Premier League with 7 points from 7 games, while Liverpool are 5th with 12 points from 7 games. That gap is not the point of the story, but it does show how far apart the clubs feel now compared with the evening that unfolded at Old Trafford.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in charge at the time, and Michael Carrick's name remains part of the wider discussion around that period, but the lasting image is still the away end celebrating a 5-0 win and asking for one more goal.
