Liverpool Lose Fourth Straight; Gravenberch Injured, Semenyo Linked

Liverpool lost 2-1 to Manchester United at Anfield, their fourth straight defeat in all competitions. Manager Arne Slot said he was concerned after Ryan Gravenberch suffered an ankle injury and was ruled out of Liverpool’s upcoming Champions League trip to Eintracht Frankfurt. Former United captain Roy Keane publicly criticised Virgil van Dijk’s recent defensive errors and leadership, and supporters voiced frustration after Mohamed Salah missed a gilt-edged chance. Amid injury disruption and inconsistent form, Liverpool are monitoring Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo as a potential long-term successor to Salah, with reports suggesting a release clause of around £75 million and the club retaining spending headroom following significant summer sales. The result has intensified scrutiny of Liverpool’s defence, squad depth and transfer planning.
