Does Dominik Szoboszlai not play in Man Utd match? Arne Slot explains
Dominik Szoboszlai was merely benched for precautionary reasons, according to Arne Slot, who confirmed the decision after Liverpool’s 3-0 preseason win over Manchester United.
After beating Arsenal and Real Betis on their U.S. trip, the Reds finished strong by defeating United. Slot, who replaced Jurgen Klopp this summer, made a good impression as manager.
The win over Premier League opponents United was scored by Fabio Carvalho, Curtis Jones, and Kostas Tsimikas; nevertheless, Szoboszlai was omitted from the matchday roster.
The Hungarian was rested instead of hurt, according to Slot, who also said that other first-team stars played against the Red Devils.”Dominik joined every session and every game,” Slot announced prior to the triumph. Our flight back to Liverpool is tonight, so we’d rather not take any chances, so I’m assuming it’s just a little exhaustion.
“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.”
In his first season with the Reds, Szoboszlai helped them win the Carabao Cup and finish third in the Premier League with seven goals in 45 appearances across all competitions.
Despite a convincing win over United, manager Carlo Slot has pointed to an area where he thinks Liverpool can make strides: the number of chances their opponents were able to score.
Before facing newly-promoted Ipswich Town in their season opener, Liverpool are scheduled to play in one final friendly. The Reds will play two La Liga matches next week, first at Anfield against Sevilla and then away at Portman Road the following weekend.
