Liverpool star Mohamed Salah missed a huge chance from close range against Manchester United this afternoon when the score was still 1-0.
The Egypt international is a world-class player, but hasn’t had the best start to the season, and now he missed a big opportunity to make it 1-1 in today’s big match at Anfield.
Watch below as the ball falls to Salah in the kind of position where he normally tends to find the back of the net with ease, only for him to fail to even hit the target this time…

You can see in Salah’s reaction what a big chance this was for him, and there will surely be some Liverpool fans who will find it hard to believe what they are seeing.
Liverpool missed chance after chance against Manchester United
Although things could still change, LFC are in trouble again today and fans will be worried about beating a weak Manchester United side after other recent poor results.
The reigning champions have recently lost to Crystal Palace, Galatasaray and Chelsea, and if that also ends in defeat, they only have their own poor finishing to blame.
Salah probably should have put this one away, while Alexander Isak also missed a good chance towards the end of the first half.
Remarkably, Cody Gakpo also hit the post three times in today’s game, so it’s just not Liverpool’s day.
It is, however, surreal that finishing has been such a problem for the Reds when you look at the long list of world-class players in their lineup.
