The Mail reports that Arne Slot’s job at Liverpool is safe for now, despite the club’s wretched run of form.

The Premier League champions have lost nine of their last 12 fixtures, with the last two defeats – 3-0 to Nottingham Forest and 4-1 to PSV – coming at home.

On Thursday, Slot vowed to “fight on” amid the club’s worst run since 1954.

“Arne Slot retains the backing of the Liverpool hierarchy despite knowing he is under pressure to turn around their wretched run of form,” reads the article.

“Sources close to both Liverpool and Slot himself have insisted to Daily Mail Sport this morning that his position as head coach is safe and that has not changed after the defeat to PSV.”

Man Utd draw up seven-man shortlist

A report in The Sun claims Manchester United have drawn up a seven-man shortlist to boost their midfield.

The Red Devils spent over £230 million in the summer transfer market, but find themselves 10th in the Premier League table having lost four of their opening 12 matches.

Brighton’s Carlos Baleba, Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton, of Crystal Palace, have been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford – but four more players have been name-checked.

“ESPN have claimed that United have made a shortlist of SEVEN stars who could help fix the club’s midfield woes,” reads the article.

“Carlos Baleba is believed to be at the top of the list following the club’s summer interest in him.

“It is reported that the Red Devils are also monitoring England internationals Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton.

“Conor Gallagher is another Three Lions hopeful who is on the shortlist at Old Trafford.

“Wolves pair Andre and Joao Gomes are also said to be on the watchlist by United chiefs.

“The final name on the shortlist is VfB Stuttgart star Angelo Stiller, 24, who is rated at £44m.”

Phillips considering move abroad

Kalvin Phillips is weighing up a move abroad in a bid to “rescue his career”.

The 29-year-old has started just two league games since joining Manchester City from Leeds in a £50 million deal in 2022.

“Phillips is desperate to leave the Etihad in the January transfer window and find a new club,” writes the Mirror.

“Phillips has become disillusioned with how his career has gone backwards, and believes he needs a fresh challenge in Europe. He will turn 30 next week, and knows he should be performing at his peak, instead of being the forgotten man of the top flight.

“Leeds have enquired about re-signing him on-loan, but the Yorkshire club want City to make a significant contribution to his £250,000-a-week wages.

“It’s understood a deal is unlikely to happen, leaving Phillips little choice but to consider offers from numerous clubs in France, Spain and Germany.”
