Arne Slot made his impact on Old Trafford with a convincing victory over Manchester United but Paul Scholes believes that fortune was on his side.
Speaking on Premier League Productions, the 49-year-old said: “When you see the squad, the first XI was brilliant, that’s probably their easiest game out of the three they have had.

“Then we saw the subs warm up and go past us, I thought ‘wow, this is a proper squad of players’. I think [Slot] has been quite fortunate to walk into that.
“Of course, he has to put his own stamp on it and I am sure he will do as we have seen in the first three games.”

It’s fair to say that Jurgen Klopp left Liverpool in a great position for the Dutchman to take over and let’s hope this fine run of form can continue.
Nobody would have allowed the 45-year-old to have a bad start though and the criticism would have been high if we weren’t performing, so perhaps saying he’s ‘fortunate’ is a little unfair.
