"He did say he’d win in his second season" - Salah rubs salt on Man Utd wounds

Manchester United were unable to find a reply to Brennan Johnson's first-half goal, condemning them to defeat in Bilbao on Wednesday. Missing out on silverware and access to next season's Champions League adds to a disastrous season for the 16th-placed Premier League, who will finish in their lowest league position since they were relegated in 1974.

But Spurs fans were not the only ones to enjoy the outcome of the match at the San Mames, which ended a 17-year wait for a trophy, with Liverpool fans also joining in to celebrate their rivals' loss. And Mohamed Salah was one of them. The Egyptian is known for causing havoc for Man United, counting 13 goals and 6 assists in 15 Premier League appearances against them.

This time, he took to social media to rub salt on the Red Devils' wounds. "He did say he’d win in his second season. Congratulations!" the 32-year-old wrote on X, quoting Ange Postecoglou's pre-season statement that he always wins things in his second season at a club, which has now proven prophetic. Salah's tweet has gone viral, gaining over 500k likes in less than 12 hours.

Former Reds defender and current pundit Jamie Carragher also poked fun at Ruben Amorim's side. "Lads, it’s Man United!" he wrote, echoing Sir Alex Ferguson's famous team talk that dismissed the north London side. After having equalled Man United's record title tally with their 20th Premier League triumph last month, seeing their rivals end the term trophyless might be the cherry on top for Liverpool.
