Gary Neville has compared Arne Slot’s impact at Liverpool to his experience under Sir Alex Ferguson whilst at Manchester United.

Slot has proven to be a masterstroke appointment for Liverpool this season, with the Reds on course for an unprecedented quadruple. Currently sitting top of both the Premier League and Champions League tables, Liverpool remain favourites to win the League Cup despite trailing 1-0 in their semi-final series against Tottenham, while also advancing to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Slot’s transformative impact has been evident, especially in elevating players like Ryan Gravenberch, showcasing his coaching prowess and cementing his suitability as Jurgen Klopp’s successor.

Speaking on the Gary Neville Podcast, the former United defender highlighted Liverpool’s tactical versatility under Slot as a key factor in their success this season. Neville observed that the Reds have two or three distinct styles of play they can deploy depending on the situation—a hallmark of their adaptability and strategic depth.

Drawing comparisons to his time at Old Trafford, Neville remarked that United under Ferguson similarly possessed a multi-faceted approach to games, allowing them to adjust seamlessly and maintain dominance across competitions.

He credited Slot for instilling this same level of tactical sophistication at Liverpool, a quality that has been instrumental in their pursuit of silverware on multiple fronts this season.

Neville said: “Liverpool play two or three different styles of play in a game where they play more direct in games, they can then sit back and counterattack, and then they can press, they’ve modified their style within the game to suit the period of the game, and that’s how we played.

“It was the old style of play where you could be a counter-attacking team, you could be a high press team, you could be a team that goes direct, or you could play possession football if you were winning 3-0 and wanted to control the game.”

Liverpool.com says: Whether Arne Slot's name will eventually stand alongside managerial legends like Sir Alex Ferguson or Jose Mourinho is a question only time can answer. However, based on his first year at Liverpool, the trajectory is unmistakably upward. Slot has laid the foundation for what could become a dynasty on Merseyside, with the Reds thriving under his leadership.
