Wayne Rooney has warned Liverpool that their decline could yet mimic the cautionary tale of their Premier League rivals Manchester United, after Arne Slot's side slipped to an unedifying 3-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday.
The English champions were unable to reverse their fortunes after the international break as they recorded their eighth defeat in 11 games against Sean Dyche's men.
Forest have not won back-to-back at Anfield since 1963 and had struggled this season amid a managerial churn that has seen Nuno Espirito Santo, Ange Postecoglou, and now Sean Dyche all seated in the dugout.
