Slot and Amorim under scrutiny in Liverpool-Man Utd showdown
Gulf Today
|October 19, 2025
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has to find solutions after three consecutive defeats for the Premier League champions, but Sunday's meeting with Manchester United is arguably even more important for Ruben Amorim.
-
The Dutchman made the unenviable task of succeeding Jurgen Klopp look easy last season as Liverpool won the league with four games to spare, equalling United's record of 20 English topflight titles.
Only once in Slot's debut campaign did Liverpool suffer back-to-back defeats and that came in exiting the Champions League and losing the League Cup final in March as a gruelling winter schedule took its toll.
The Reds were determined to build from a position of strength, ploughing a Premier League record of nearly £450 million ($604 million) into new signings in the transfer window.
