5 – Gary Neville delivers verdict on Arne Slot
Gary Neville has added pressure on Arne Slot, saying that the Liverpool manager needs to win against Manchester United this weekend to keep his job at the club. He believes that the clash at Old Trafford will be key for Michael Carrick too and said on Sky Sports:
“There are question marks over whether both are going to be at their clubs at the start of next season. Is Michael going to get the job? Is Arne Slot going to be kept on? Sort of those questions keep appearing on the Liverpool manager.”

“The game itself for jeopardy and what’s at stake, I don’t think it’s actually that important for either team, I think they’ll both get in the Champions League. But for both managers, I think it’s a serious game of seeing themselves against a big rival for next season, a big rival generally. So I think you’re right, the Michael Carrick-Arne Slot face-off is, I think, the big thing about Sunday.”
Reports earlier this month suggested that Liverpool had no plans to part ways with Slot this summer.
