“Manchester United Fans Furious Over Arne Slot’s Controversial Post-Match Remarks”
“Manchester United Fans Outraged by Arne Slot’s Controversial Post-Match Comments”
Slot addressed the media following Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United, but his remarks left the away supporters displeased.
Manchester United fans are fuming at Liverpool manager Arne Slot following his post-match comments about the 2-2 draw between the two teams at Anfield.
The dramatic clash saw United salvage a point in the dying moments with Amad Diallo’s cool finish, leveling the score after Mohamed Salah converted a penalty in the 70th minute to put Liverpool ahead.
Earlier, Cody Gakpo had restored parity for the hosts, responding just six minutes after Lisandro Martinez smashed in a stunning left-footed strike off the crossbar to give United a 52nd-minute lead.
Ruben Amorim’s side came close to snatching a late winner, but Harry Maguire’s effort from 12 yards out soared over the crossbar after the ball awkwardly bobbled in front of him.
The draw brought an end to United’s streak of three straight defeats, offering plenty of positives for the away supporters with the team’s spirited performance at Anfield.
However, Slot had a different perspective, insisting that his Liverpool side deserved to win the game.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Slot shared his thoughts:
“They had a big chance just before the end, so we feel a bit relieved. But that might not be the full story of the game, in my opinion.
“If you watch the game back, you’ll see that in the first 20 or 25 minutes we created two or three very good chances. We were up against excellent individuals, very good players. I’ve said it many times, and today was another example of that.
“For them, this was an opportunity to show themselves against top players in the league, rather than against teams like Wolves or others. When they compete with the best, you can see how talented they are.
“That said, the game was largely played in their half. In the last 15 minutes, you could see their quality when they were able to play. But for the first 75 minutes, they relied mainly on long balls from Onana.”
"If I look back at it tomorrow, I would of hoped for more"

“But in the last 15 minutes, the game was so open on both sides. You could see their effort; perhaps they were even better than they realize themselves. However, I think it was clear that in the first 75 minutes, we had more control than they did.”
Manchester United fans were quick to push back against Arne Slot’s remarks, especially his criticism of goalkeeper André Onana’s distribution.
One fan wrote: “Did Arne Slot watch the same game? United only kicked the ball long with Onana for the first 75? Nonsense.”
Another added: “Was Arne at a different game?”
A third fan didn’t hold back, stating: “Arne Slot is embarrassing himself. That’s one of the most deluded interviews of all time.”
A fourth chimed in: “Slot is being really disingenuous here. Saying United played a low block and Onana didn’t take any risks, mostly playing the ball long—it’s not what happened at all in the game.”
