Liverpool crisis deepens as Slot equals Rodgers’ record after Man United defeat

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has equalled an unwanted club record previously held by Brendan Rodgers after the Reds slumped to another defeat, this time against Manchester United.

The result marks Liverpool’s 18th loss of the 2025/26 season, matching the tally recorded during Rodgers’ difficult 2014/15 campaign.

The defeat at Old Trafford further exposed Liverpool’s inconsistency in what has become a deeply frustrating campaign.

Just a year ago, Slot was celebrating Premier League glory in his debut season after replacing Jürgen Klopp. Now, his side is battling simply to secure a top-four finish.

Liverpool currently sits in a tense race for Champions League qualification, with little margin for further slip-ups.
