Liverpool boss Arne Slot has insisted that his side won’t take anything for granted against Manchester United with the Red Devils capable of showing up “when you least expect it”.
“I think every game we play is a serious test,” Slot told Sky Sports. “Manchester United has much more quality than some other teams, so we know, not only because of the rivalry but also the quality players, it is a challenging game.
“Until now [we] haven’t shown [complacency], but it might lead to the United players showing they are better than this. They had it with Manchester City away and last season with the FA Cup final. When you least expect it, they show up.”
