Liverpool's defeat to Manchester United on Sunday was just the latest low point in the reigning Premier League champions campaign . The Reds fell to a 3-2 loss at Old Trafford that saw their bitter rivals officially capture Champions League football for next season.

The disappointing defeat did little to harm Liverpool's own chase for European football with Arne Slot's side needing just four points from their final three games to confirm their qualification.

However, another dismal performance has much of the fanbase wearing thin ahead of a summer where they'll say goodbye to club icons Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson. Complaints within the Reds' inner circle have been discussed as Slot's post-game actions were plastered online. Mirror Football takes a look at the biggest stories coming out of Anfield...

Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko scored in the first 14 minutes to ensure Liverpool went into half-time down 2-0. The Reds came out with vigour as Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo scored within nine minutes of each other before Kobbie Mainoo's 74th minute strike clinched the victory.

And Ibrahima Konate has revealed that complaints were made in the Liverpool dressing room around not winning enough challenges and displaying a stronger mentality.

The France international explained: "It was just about the mentality. In the first half we lost many challenges on the pitch. When it was 50-50, most of them Manchester [United] won them on the pitch.

"But in the second half we just had to change it and change the mentality. This is what we have done and that's why we scored two good goals with our pressing, with our aggressiveness. But we needed a little bit more."

As Slot walked back to the tunnel after full-time with his head down, he was subjected to heckles from United fans. While he stopped short of verbally hitting back, the Dutchman responded with a simple hand gesture, showing six fingers to the supporters.

The Reds boss seemed to signify the six Champions League titles Liverpool have won in footage that was posted on social media. Slot wasn't alone when biting back at the United faithful.
