There was uncertainty regarding who Reds' head coach Arne Slot would select to partnerVirgil van Dijk in defense
Liverpool fans have taken to social media to react to Ibrahima Konate's inclusion in the starting XI to face Manchester United. The two sides are set to face off at Anfield on Sunday (January 5), with the hosts widely expected to continue their remarkable run of form against the Red Devils.
There was uncertainty regarding who Reds' head coach Arne Slot would select to partner Virgil van Dijk in defense. Joe Gomez suffered a hamstring injury in their last game, a 5-0 victory against West Ham on December 29. Although Jerome Quansah is available, Slot has chosen to prioritize experience, reintroducing Ibrahima Konate to the starting lineup.
Konate had been out of contention for the past month due to a knee injury. Despite not partaking in any of their recent matches, even as a substitute, Arne Slot has deemed the 25-year-old French centre-back fit to start against Manchester United.
