Ruben Amorim does not care what Arne Slot has to say about his Manchester United team after the Liverpool boss spoke of low blocks and long balls following last weekend’s Anfield encounter. It was Liverpool’s fourth straight loss in all competitions and boss Slot said afterwards that “it is always difficult to play against a team that defends in a low block and mainly plays the long ball.” But such comments are water off a duck’s back to Amorim, who had no interest in the Dutchman’s assessment.

“Liverpool is in the past, I don’t want to comment,” he said ahead of United’s home game against Brighton. “It was an important win, but I was the first one to say that we need to play better with the ball.

“I can evaluate my team and I am really clear that we should play better with the ball. We are going to try to do that in this game.” Amorim was pleased by the way his side adapted to the circumstances and sealed a statement win against Liverpool.
