The clash between Liverpool and Manchester United not only left fans disappointed with the result but also sparked turmoil inside The Kop’s dressing room. According to sources close to the club, manager Arne Slot completely “lost it” with Mohamed Salah, who was accused of showing a lack of passion and being far from his best form.
Throughout the second half, Salah was almost invisible on the pitch, repeatedly losing possession and missing crucial chances. When he was substituted in the 70th minute, he reacted with visible frustration — something that reportedly made Slot lose his temper. After the final whistle, the Dutch tactician allegedly shouted at Salah in front of the whole team — a rare sight from a coach usually known for his composure.
Some Liverpool players believe Slot wanted to “send a message” to restore discipline, while those close to Salah revealed he’s been struggling with mental and physical fatigue amid a packed schedule.
Neither has made a public statement yet, but British media suggest that the relationship between Slot and Salah may be seriously strained, pushing Liverpool’s locker room into a tense and uncertain phase.
