Liverpool manager Arne Slot has shown his savage side by aiming dig at Manchester United over their recent performance in the Premier League.
United have failed to start the new season in a brilliant way as their struggles continued against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. Erik ten Hag’s team lost 3-0 at home and have been faced with criticism from fans.
Speaking ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League game against Bologna, Slot threw shade at Manchester United by indirectly suggesting they are not among the Premier League’s elite.
The Liverpool manager said: “One of the reasons why we can compete is because we have a lot of quality. I also see a lot of team cohesion in the team.
“If we score I also see the ones that don’t play are really happy with us scoring and winning. Those are two really positive things. But I also see things we definitely have to improve if we want to stay where we are with the fixture list that’s coming up’.
“Like I said, every fixture is difficult in the Premier League but everybody tells me that a top league table team is a bit more difficult than a low league table team, which we can all understand and we haven’t faced one of them yet.
“So we have to do things better, but one of the reasons why we can stay up there is because we have a lot of players with a lot of individual quality.”
Surprisingly, Liverpool under Slot defeated Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford last month with Luis Diaz netting twice in the first half and Mohamed Salah sealing the win after half-time.
Liverpool aim to continue their strong form as they face Bologna and then Crystal Palace this weekend.
On the other hand, United have challenging matches ahead, with a Europa League fixture against Porto before travelling to Aston Villa on Sunday.
