Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has backed Marcus Rashford to turn his career around at Aston Villa, admitting he was "really impressed" by the forward when he faced him for the first time.

Arne Slot has hailed Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah as being ‘back to his old level’ after a ‘hard time’ this season. Quansah was not in the starting line-up as the Reds beat Wolves 2-1 on Sunday afternoon at Anfield, but came on at half-time.
