Arne Slot has commented on Dominik Szoboszlai’s absence against Manchester United.
“It’s never really a friendly against Manchester United”, Lucas Leiva said before the game.
The Hungarian captain is not in Liverpool’s squad in South Carolina.
The Reds will wear the new away kit for the first time.
Slot speaks on Szoboszlai absence
“I think it’s our 13th day of the tour. Dominik joined every session and every game, and we played the last one two days ago.”
“I think it’s a bit of fatigue and we don’t want to take any risks because we fly back to Liverpool tonight and on Tuesday all the other players arrive as well, so we want to start off then with all the players available and we didn’t want to take any risk with him today.”
Despite a heavy downpour leading up to the game the weather has cleared in the US.
Conor Bradley believes the Reds are discovering how to play Arne Slot’s style: “It’s definitely coming together now (Slot style). Hopefully we can do what he wants us to do and get the win.”
