New Liverpool manager Arne Slot says his side still have plenty of room for improvement despite concluding their pre-season tour of the United States with a 3-0 win over Manchester United in South Carolina on Saturday.
Slot, who replaced Jurgen Klopp in May, also guided Liverpool to victories over Arsenal and Real Betis. The next game is against Sevilla at Anfield before visiting newly promoted Ipswich Town for their Premier League opener on August 17.
Asked if he was satisfied with his team's performance so far, the Dutchman said: “Yes, I was, but not with everyone. We are very happy with the result, we scored some very nice goals… a very positive tour.”
“But I don't think we had enough control of the game, I think we gave away too many chances. United deserved more than a 3-0 defeat, but it's also our quality to score our own chances.”
“We'll see how the players play” [returning from holiday] “I'll fit into the team. We have to work hard in the next two weeks to be ready.”
