Former Manchester United and Arsenal striker, Robin van Persie, has backed Liverpool manager Arne Slot to succeed in his role after replacing Jurgen Klopp.

Slot was appointed new Liverpool manager earlier this week.

The 45-year-old Dutchman left his role at Feyenoord, where he stayed for three years.

Speaking with ESPN Nederland, Van Persie said about Slot:
