Curtis Jones Reveals What Arne Slot Told Him During Manchester United Pre-Season Game

Liverpool wrapped up their United States of America tour in spectacular fashion with a commanding 3-0 victory over Manchester United.

Curtis Jones started in Arne Slot’s double pivot midfield and scored a promising goal after a brilliant setup by Salah. Despite his strong performance, Jones was substituted just before the hour mark, making way for Trey Nyoni.

The decision to replace Curtis Jones surprised many.

Curtis Jones, who picked up a knock in an earlier game against Real Betis, seemed slightly annoyed by the early substitution. However, he clarified to LFCTV that he is “100 percent” fit and ready for the Premier League opener.

Curtis Jones revealed that Slot withdrew him as a precaution after he took a knock to the head moments earlier.

“I think I could’ve played the whole game, but I got a whack in the back of my head,” Jones explained. “Slot said it was more of a precautionary thing; we don’t need to risk anything.”
