ARNE SLOT has heaped more misery on Manchester United by claiming they are not a "top team".
The Dutch coach, 46, led his Liverpool side to a comfortable 3-0 win at Old Trafford last month.
And on Sunday that feat was replicated by Tottenham as they demolished Erik ten Hag's men in front of a frustrated set of Red Devils supporters.
Liverpool sit top of the Premier League table after picking up 16 points from their opening six games under Slot.
Yet the former Feyenoord boss has claimed his side are yet to face a "top league table team" - a passing shot at Man Utd who are languishing in the bottom half in 13th place.
Speaking ahead of Liverpool's Champions League clash with Bologna on Wednesday, he said: "One of the reasons why we can compete is because we have a lot of quality. I also see a lot of team cohesion in the team.
"If we score I also see the ones that don't play are really happy with us scoring and winning. Those are two really positive things.
"But I also see things we definitely have to improve if we want to stay where we are with the fixture list that's coming up.
"Like I said, every fixture is difficult in the Premier League but everybody tells me that a top league table team is a bit more difficult than a low league table team, which we can all understand and we haven't faced one of them yet.
"So we have to do things better, but one of the reasons why we can stay up there is because we have a lot of players with a lot of individual quality."
