"In my opinion, we created much more chances" - Liverpool's Arne Slot reveals he's disappointed with draw against Manchester United

In a pulsating encounter at Anfield on January 5, Liverpool and Manchester United played out a 2-2 draw, with both sides showcasing moments of brilliance and vulnerability. After the game, Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed mixed emotions.

The Dutch tactician pointed out his side's dominance in creating opportunities but lamented the missed chances that could have secured all three points.

The match began with high intensity, but remained goalless in the first-half. Manchester United broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute. Lisandro Martínez capitalized on a defensive lapse, firing a powerful shot that ricocheted off the crossbar.

Liverpool responded swiftly. In the 59th minute, Cody Gakpo showcased his attacking prowess by cutting inside from the left and unleashing a precise finish to level the score.

The momentum seemed to shift in favour of the home side, and their efforts were rewarded in the 70th minute when Mohamed Salah converted a penalty, putting Liverpool ahead 2-1.

However, Manchester United demonstrated resilience. In the 80th minute, Amad Diallo found the back of the net, ensuring the visitors left Anfield with a share of the spoils.

Here's what Slot said after the match while speaking to Sky Sports:

"They got a big chance just before the end so we also feel a bit relieved. That might not be the story of the game overall, in my opinion—we created much more chances than them. A point is something to take, but if I look back tomorrow I’d hope for more."

Liverpool continue their dominant run in the Premier League

The draw against The Red Devils was a mere hiccup in the Reds' otherwise heroic season. With a game in hand, they currently sit six points clear at the top of the Premier League table.

Manchester United, on the other hand, are 13th in the league but will take positives from their draw against the league leaders.

The runaway leaders' current form is the least of their concerns. Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all out of contract this summer and haven't signed new contracts yet.

While Mo Salah has been vocal about his contract situation, the young Englishman is already linked with a move to Real Madrid.

The Egyptian forward has said he's yet to reach an agreement with the club while Trent's future at Anfield looks bleak. However, everything needs to be taken with a pinch of salt until an official announcement is made.
