The Dutchman was booed during Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea after his decision to substitute Rio Ngumoha, and Liverpool’s performances this season have led to speculation that he could be replaced this summer.Liverpool though is understood to be sticking by its man, with Slot having indicated at the weekend that he is working on summer transfers with the club, having promised “100 percent” that supporters will see an improvement from his side next season.READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news and rumors today LIVE: Xabi Alonso to Chelsea, Mbappe 'plan', Diomande latestREAD MORE: Liverpool's dream line-up with 4 transfers after Arne Slot makes '100 percent' promiseFormer defender Carragher admits he’s worried though, and has compared the situation to the one United found itself in with Erik ten Hag in 2024.Like Slot, there were serious questions over the former Ajax boss’ future at Old Trafford after a poor second season in charge.

United though chose to back Ten Hag, handing him a new contract and spending big on transfers, only to fire him two months into the new season.“You can’t deny it as a Liverpool supporter,” Carragher said on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football.“I don’t even think it’s a 50/50 split now on Arne Slot, and I know people outside of the club can’t quite get their heads around that, thinking ‘this guy won the league, it looks like he’s going to get you Champions League football in his second season.’Erik ten Hag was fired by Manchester United just a couple of months after being backed in the transfer market(Image: Alex Livesey, Getty Images)“But the drop-off has been so stark, and there’s been no improvement really from day one until the end of the season, in results or performances that you think ‘is it going to get any better?’“My worry with Liverpool and Arne Slot a little bit is are we going to be in a situation where, a little bit like Ten Hag, where he had a great first season, didn’t win the league, Slot won the league so that’s a completely different level, but the second season was really poor.“Then you keep the manager on the back of what he did in his first season, and then it carries on poorly. Then you get into October and you think ‘we’ve got to change the manager’.“I think that’s probably a little bit of a feeling with Liverpool supporters, but it looks from the things we’re hearing that Arne Slot’s going to be given another opportunity next season.”Get LFC's 2025/26 season home and away kitsThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

Carragher feels his former club could still land his old teammate, although it would require a decision to be made on Slot quickly.“There will be a feeling that, I think from a lot of Liverpool supporters, that Xabi Alonso’s there, and if we wanted him, he would come to us because of his history with the club,” Carragher added.“It looks like the club have made their decision on Slot, and it tells you they’ve made their decision on Slot in the fact that there’s talks between Xabi Alonso and Chelsea.
