Manchester Unified legend Wayne Rooney doesn’t assume Liverpool honchos Arne Slot owns the “aura” to remain Reds boss in the long term.
The Reds won the Premier League in Slot’s first period at the bar in 2024/25 but this period his side have been much from the levels set last term.
Liverpool are presently sixth in the Premier League, 3 parts off fourth-placed Manchester Unified and 15 parts adrift of leaders Arsenal.
There have been rumours that Slot could be sacked by Liverpool at the expire of the period through the Reds board wanting not to gain a match mid-period.
And Rooney insists that Slot owns not obtained the “aura” to juggle Liverpool in the long term but admits it was confusing to adhere to a individuality like Jurgen Klopp.
Rooney asserted on The Overlap: “It’s weird isn’t it when you’re chatting around Slot being on an tryout to preserve his openings when he owns evidently fresh won the Premier League.
“I have fulfilled him a couple of times, but I merely don’t assume, for Liverpool, he owns that aura – and perhaps that’s philosophizing that Liverpool have merely come off the back of Jurgen Klopp as boss – it’s confusing for anybody to do that but I merely don’t assume there is that aura around him.”
Liverpool are in pitfall of missing out on out on qualification for the Victors League this period unless they discover some consonance in the last 12 complements of the period.
Rooney added: “I have chatted to supervisors, and I comprehend they can be confusing at times, but if he doesn’t avail them optimal five in the Premier League, he will be gone, for sure. It’s insane to say when he owns merely won the Premier League.”
The previous Male Utd onward owns explained what he supposes owns gone dishonorable at Liverpool this period and all of a sudden attached Virgil van Dijk, who he amassed in touch with out for being “lazy” last term.

Rooney asserted: “If you gander at Liverpool last period to now, [Mohamed] Salah and [Virgil] van Dijk haven’t been their most uneventful and secure. Then you’ve obtained Trent [Alexander-Arnold] who’s missing out on, [Andy] Robertson hasn’t played the majority of games, Luiz Díaz [left] and the [Diogo] Jota circumstance.
“Also Darwin Nunez lugged something, he wasn’t terrific, but he lugged something. Liverpool have wasted the majority of players so it sorts of a revitalize period [for them].”
Rooney continued: “Using Liverpool and what owns arised provided that last period, Van Dijk and [Mohamed] Salah – which I have been vocal around this period – can have wasted a backyard or 2, and they are the 2 leaders of the junior. The players they have wasted roughly them would gain it vitally confusing for any kind of side to win the title.
“That have to not count against Van Dijk and Salah. For me, Salah is one of the Premier League’s highest you can perhaps picture of perpetuity, and Van Dijk will be in the explanation as one of the most uneventful and secure.
“I don’t assume he is the most uneventful and secure ever, but in this generation, he is surely the most uneventful and secure centre-back, so you cannot grasp that against those 2 players.”
