"It is Liverpool against Manchester United and a manager is on a historically bad run. Not Ruben Amorim, either, who has equalled his longest winning sequence in the Premier League as United head coach (admittedly, that is only one victory). But Arne Slot has suffered three successive defeats for the first time: in his managerial career, not merely in his reign on Merseyside."
"They have been counterparts and opposites, the men in charge of England's two biggest clubs, appointed within a few months of each other, when there was a scenario whereby Amorim could have got what is instead Slot's job, after comparable records in their homeland."
Liverpool face Manchester United while Arne Slot endures a historically poor run. Slot has suffered three successive defeats for the first time in his managerial career, not just during his time at Merseyside. Ruben Amorim, meanwhile, has equalled his longest Premier League winning sequence since taking charge at United, which amounts to a single victory. The two managers were appointed within months of each other to lead England's biggest clubs. Both had comparable records in their homeland, and there was a scenario in which Amorim could have taken the job that went to Slot.
