Ruben Amorim has the weakest debut as Manchester United manager since 1932. Now Liverpool awaits in the Portuguese’s first meeting with United’s arch-rival. Arne Slot has made his debut against United with Ten Hag at the helm. With only one “work accident” against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool are unbeaten in the Premier League after 18 games. Then Slot has a very important task before Sunday’s big game.
Dampen expectations of United collapse and easy match at Anfield.
Apart from a win against bottom side Everton and a last-minute win against a Manchester City on their knees, there is nothing to suggest that Manchester United will have anything to offer against Liverpool at Anfield. For Liverpool players and supporters, this is exactly what can lead the club to a loss to United on Sunday.
Arne Slot is therefore not fooled into a narrative where Manchester United have already lost.
“In my view, they have much better players than what the table shows at the moment. It may take a while for Ruben Amorim to get it out of the players, but they are much better than the table shows,” Slot begins, according to BBC Sport.
“Every coach sympathizes with every other coach. We all know how much pressure this job entails. That’s something we like. Amorim did so well at Sporting and he has a good squad, so he will probably get the best out of them,” the Liverpool manager said.
Who knows how strong Liverpool are. Who also knows what happened when Nottingham Forest fooled a victorious Liverpool at Anfield in September.
