Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has voiced his admiration for Manchester United’s squad, asserting that they are “much better” than their current league position reflects. This statement comes after Liverpool’s dominant 3-0 victory over United at Old Trafford, with goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah.
Liverpool currently sits six points clear at the top of the Premier League and are favorites to secure a 20th English top-flight title, which would bring them level with Manchester United’s record.
Slot’s comments about United’s squad are particularly notable given the team’s ongoing struggles in the league. Despite five defeats in their last six matches, United find themselves in 14th place. However, Slot believes that their current standing doesn’t accurately represent their true capabilities.

In a recent interview, Slot broke down United’s tactics and discussed how Liverpool exploited their weaknesses. He pointed out that United’s full-backs often push too far forward, leaving space for Liverpool’s attackers to capitalize on. He also praised the work ethic of his midfielders, who won duels and created crucial scoring opportunities.
Despite United’s challenges, Slot remains cautious about underestimating them. He acknowledged that United boasts a talented squad, and their current form is not a true reflection of their potential. Many share this view, believing that United’s players are capable of more than their current league position suggests.
Meanwhile, Liverpool continues to shine at the top of the table. With their impressive defense and potent attack, they are looking like serious contenders for the title, with Slot’s team in prime position to claim their 20th league championship.
