Ferdinand Claims Salah and Díaz ‘Cheated’ in Liverpool’s 3-0 Win Over Man Utd.
Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has accused Mohamed Salah and Luis Díaz of “cheating” during Liverpool’s 3-0 victory at Old Trafford. Díaz scored twice in the first half, with Salah adding a third after the break. Ferdinand criticized the positioning and tactics, suggesting that Liverpool’s wingers exploited United’s defensive weaknesses as instructed by manager Arne Slot. On the Rio Presents show, Ferdinand remarked that allowing such “cheating” tactics can be advantageous, as it leaves opponents vulnerable if possession is regained.
