Arne Slot wants Liverpool to improve despite Man United win

New Liverpool manager Arne Slot says his side still have plenty of room for improvement despite ending their pre-season tour of the United States with a 3-0 win over Manchester United in South Carolina on Saturday.

Slot, who replaced Jurgen Klopp in May, also guided Liverpool to wins over Arsenal and Real Betis. They next face Sevilla at Anfield before visiting promoted Ipswich Town for their Premier League opener on August 17.

Asked if he was pleased with his team’s performances so far, the Dutchman said: “Yes, I was, but not with all of them. We are very happy with the result, we scored some really good goals… very positive tour.

“But I don’t think we had enough control over the game, I think we wasted too many chances. United deserved more than a 3-0 defeat, but it’s also our quality to score goals from our own chances.

“We will see how the players (returning from vacation) fit into the team. We need to work hard in the next two weeks to be ready.”
