Liverpool manager Arne Slot said there was no point in comparing his team’s shopping activities with Manchester United’s in the summer of 2024.
Liverpool this season can be said to be quite calm in the player transfer market. They only brought in Federico Chiesa from Juventus.
Liverpool did cut Giorgi Mamardashvili. But he will only join The Reds in 2025.
Liverpool were previously linked with Martin Zubimendi. But in the end they failed to bring in the Real Sociedad player.
Meanwhile, Manchester United spent a lot of money in the summer of 2024. They brought in Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, Joshua Zirkzee, and Manuel Ugarte.
According to Arne Slot, Manchester United is a strong team. Now that they have brought in new ammunition, of course United is getting stronger.
“They keep improving and improving their squad in every transfer market. I think they already have quality and now they are better after the recruitment they have done,” he admitted as reported by Liverpool Echo.
Liverpool’s lack of activity in the transfer market certainly makes some of their fans feel anxious. Especially when looking at the movements of rival clubs such as Manchester United.
However, Arne Slot advised fans that there is no point in comparing Liverpool’s shopping activities with other clubs, including Man United. Because the most important thing later is the performance and results obtained on the field.
“The only way to compare ourselves is on Sunday and then see how we match them and after that I will find moments where I say we have to improve and I will be happy with some things,” he said.
“We don’t look at other clubs and what they do in the transfer market. However, I don’t look outside, and I don’t look at other clubs, I only focus on what we have and the situation we are facing. And I am really happy with the team we have and there is no point in starting to compare ourselves with other clubs,” Slot emphasized.
