Florian Wirtz arrived at Anfield with fanfare over the summer – but before the clocks even go back, Wirtz is struggling to make
Arne Slot has made a huge decision on Florian Wirtz before Liverpool’s crunch clash with Manchester United.
The Reds had been flying at the top of the league – but a stumble in form has left them winless in three. Liverpool need all three points to get their season back and track, and Slot hasn’t trusted Wirtz in his starting side.
The Reds shattered the British transfer record to bring the German to Anfield to from Bayer Leverkusen. However, he’s struggled to make the same waves he did in the Bundesliga on these shores so far this season.

Wirtz’s former Leverkusen team-mate Jeremie Frimpong was also dropped as Conor Bradley come into defence.
