Liverpool fans tear into Ibrahima Konate after what he did v Man United

Liverpool fans on social media are tearing into Ibrahima Konate after his performance in the pre-season clash v Man United.

Despite Arne Slot’s side running out 3-0 winners from the clash in the USA, the performance was not as dominant as the scoreline suggests.

Fabio Carvalho continued his impressive pre-season form, while Curtis Jones and Konstantinos Tsimikas also found the net despite having half the number of shots than their opponents.

United, however, failed to make the most of the opportunities presented to them, which largely came through Liverpool’s sloppiness in possession at the back.

One major contributor to that sloppiness was Konate, as his loose passing from the defence saw United handed several chances to score early in the game.

Konate spent the beginning of the summer representing France at Euro 2024 and last night’s clash was his first appearance under the new boss.

The French defender usually plays on the right side of a centre-back pairing, but was shifted to the left in Slot’s system and immediately looked out of place.

Fans flooded social media with criticism of his performance, with some even calling for him to be sold before the transfer window closes on 31 August.

In other news, Liverpool are in talks over three first-team signings.
