Liverpool manager Arne Slot has expressed his desire for improvement despite a convincing 3-0 win over Manchester United in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.
The Reds have enjoyed a successful pre-season campaign, defeating Arsenal and Real Betis before their victory over the Red Devils. However, Slot remains cautious, highlighting areas for improvement ahead of their Premier League opener against Ipswich Town on August 17.
Slot praised his team’s performance, saying, “Yes, I was [pleased] but not with all of them. We are very happy with the result, we scored some really nice goals… very positive tour.” However, he also noted, “But I don’t think we had enough control over the game, I think we gave away too many chances. United deserved more than a 3-0 loss but it’s also our quality that we do score our own chances.”
With key players returning from holiday, Slot emphasized the need for hard work in the coming weeks to ensure the team is ready for the new season. “We will see how players [returning from holiday] fit into the team. We need to work hard in the upcoming two weeks to be ready.”
