SIR ALEX FERGUSON could only shake his head in disbelief as Liverpool ran riot at Old Trafford.
But Reds icon Kenny Dalglish cracked up in laughter in the stands.
The two legendary figures of British football were both in attendance to witness a simply incredible afternoon.
And as the five goals rained into David De Gea’s net, the boos rang around the stadium with the pressure rising rapidly on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Then after Mo Salah wrapped up his hat-trick for 5-0 in the 50th minute, the Sky Sports cameras cut to a fuming Ferguson, who sighed in disbelief.
The Old Trafford icon then puffed out through his cheeks looking utterly fed up.
And immediately afterwards they turned to a joyous King Kenny chuckling away watching on.
Fans watching at home took great delight in seeing United’s misfortune – and heaped praise on the Sky director calling the shots.

One said: “Give that director an oscar. The Ferguson to Dalglish cut was sublime.”
Another wrote: “That’s a meme for Liverpool fans to saviour for years to come. Ferguson puffing out his cheeks cutting to Dalglish laughing his head off.”
A third added: “Whoever is the producer of this match at Sky needs a pay rise. ‘Show Ferguson’… ‘Now cut to Dalglish’ – priceless!”
And a final user tweeted: “Showing Ferguson fuming then Dalglish laughing within two shots on the Sky coverage. That directing deserves a BAFTA.”
But neither Ferguson nor Dalglish’s reactions when Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal was ruled out for offside and Paul Pogba was sent off were shown.
Earlier, when the half-time whistle blew, Fergie was filmed heading inside shaking his head.
By that point, Liverpool were already 4-0 up as Harry Maguire and Co imploded.
Naby Keita and Diogo Jota gave the visitors the perfect start before Salah’s double just before the break.
And that was enough for plenty of Red Devils supporters who were spotted exiting the stadium with another 45 minutes still to play.
The new low comes just weeks after Ferguson was overheard criticising Solskjaer for benching Cristiano Ronaldo.

Giving his thoughts on why United failed to beat Everton, he said: “I think they saw Ronaldo wasn’t playing…”
When Khabib Nurmagomedov interrupted to say the Portuguese star came on in the second half, Fergie replied: “I know…
“But you should always start your best players.”
