United 'have much better players than the league table shows' - Slot

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot says Manchester United "have much better players than the league table shows at the moment", before Ruben Amorim takes his side to Anfield on Sunday.

United, who are currently 14th place in the Premier League, lost six games in all competitions in December as Ruben Amorim's tenure got off to a less than perfect start.

"Every manager sympathises with every other manager," Slot said. "We all know how much pressure this job brings. It is something we like.

"He [Amorim] has done so well at Sporting and I think he has a good squad of players so he will eventually bring the best out of them."

In contrast, Slot has had a near-perfect start to life at Anfield and insisted he will need to field a strong starting XI if his side are to continue their winning ways.

"Of course we're not going to plan to rest any players because it's a big game," he added.
