In an interview with The Sun, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said that Premier League referee Anthony Taylor’s compassion for Manchester United prevented him from sending off as many as five of their players.

On Sunday, the Reds recorded their most illustrious victory over one of their most bitter enemies in recent memory. United had a chance to take the lead, but after Bruno Fernandes missed a penalty kick, the visitors went on to win 5-0.

Indeed, a hat-trick from Mohamed Salah, as well as goals from Naby Keita and Diogo Jota, helped Liverpool to victory.

The subsequent focus has shifted to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s long-term future as Manchester United manager. He has been under increasing pressure to be fired, and there have been allegations of a rift within the dressing room.

The Athletic, on the other hand, has published further information about the ramifications of the defeat at Old Trafford.

According to the source, Liverpool believed referee Taylor was too lenient towards Manchester United. While Paul Pogba was shown a red card, the Reds believe Taylor should have shown red cards to as many as five Manchester United players.

According to reports, a person close to Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed the boss’s concerns.

Initially, it was for Keita, but not for Paul Pogba’s tackle that led the midfielder to be carried off on a stretcher. The tackle on the Guinean star came before that, and Fred was the first to commit.

Man United’s problems are far more complex than Solskjaer’s

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the epicenter of all of Manchester United’s problems, and the club must get rid of him before things spiral even more out of control.

“[Antoine] Griezmann received a red card for doing the same thing on Bobby [Roberto Firmino] in the previous game,” the Liverpool source explained. “What happened to the consistency?”

Furthermore, the visitors desired that Taylor award Cristiano Ronaldo a red card rather than a yellow card.

When Ronaldo was frustrated by a tackle on Curtis Jones, he kicked the ball while it was still in Jones’ midsection, which resulted in a scuffle between the two sides.

Liverpool were interested in Manchester United reds.

It also describes how Liverpool believed Fernandes should have been sent off for a tackle on Jones, according to the report.

After that, it was a tackle on Jota by Harry Maguire that the Reds wished to see the most severe punishment meted out.

Despite this, Solskjaer said that the outcome as it stood was his “darkest day” as Manchester United manager.

Liverpool, on the other hand, maintained its lead over Chelsea and Manchester City, both of whom scored convincing victories last weekend as well.
