Mohamed Salah has named his favourite Premier League away stadium after eight highly successful years at Liverpool. The Egyptian forward, who recently signed a new contract with the club, looks set to continue his dominance in English football for at least two more seasons. Having just played a pivotal role in securing Liverpool’s second league title in five years, Salah’s preferences might still evolve under new manager Arne Slot.
In a candid interview with Gary Neville, Salah didn’t hesitate when asked about his favourite away ground. Given his phenomenal record of 185 goals and 87 assists in 299 Premier League matches, it might have been more challenging to ask which stadium he dislikes. After all, he’s made a habit of shining wherever he plays.
One of the greatest players in Premier League history, Salah has consistently tormented defenders across the country. However, there’s one stadium where he’s been especially dominant — much to the dismay of its home fans. Unsurprisingly, his pick was Old Trafford.
Salah’s dominance at Manchester United’s ground is well-documented. His standout performance came in October 2021, when he became the first Liverpool player to score a hat-trick at Old Trafford, leading to a 5-0 demolition that sent United fans heading for the exits early.
In total, Salah has netted 10 goals in just nine appearances at Old Trafford, making him the seventh-highest scorer at the venue since 2020 — even when counting United’s own players. So when Neville asked about his favourite away ground, he couldn’t help but laugh before answering:
“I would say Old Trafford.”
Neville replied with a quick, “I won’t ask why,” clearly aware of the reasoning behind the choice. During the same interview, Salah also expressed surprise at the boos directed at Trent Alexander-Arnold during Liverpool’s recent 2-2 draw with Arsenal.
He further revealed that at the beginning of the season, he was only “10% confident” he would extend his contract, citing Fenway Sports Group’s cautious approach to offering new deals to older players. As a result, Salah had genuinely considered that the 2024/25 title-winning campaign might be his last at Anfield — a stadium he now holds dear, along with his beloved Old Trafford.
