Liverpool get massive boost as midfielder bags 2 goals and MOTM award ahead of Manchester United clash

Last Updated on 15 October 2025

Liverpool players have been in exceptional form for their coutries with many of them scoring and assisting during the international break.

Dominik Szoboszlai stole a last minute equalizer against Portugal, while the likes of Cody Gakpo and Virgil van Dijk scored for Netherlands.

But another Liverpool star was on target for his national side, winning the man of the match award in Argentina’s rout of Puerto Rico.

Alexis Mac Allister shakes off the rust after poor start to shine in Argentina’s 6-0 win

Argentina took on Puerto Rico at Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in an international friendly. It was an easy outing for the world champions, who put six past the 155th ranked side.

Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister was on target for Argentina, scoring twice in a man of the match performance.

It has been a tough start to the 2025/26 campaign for Mac Allister, who has struggled to find form after being a stand-out in Liverpool title triumph.

With injuries hampering his pre-season, it seems like the Argentine is finally getting back to his best. He put in a great shift for his country, coming up with 11 recoveries on top of his brace, as per Sofascore.

Arne Slot has no excuses after Liverpool stars impress over the international break

It has been an unusually successful international break for Liverpool. Almost all of their stars on duty impressed, coming up with important goals, assists, and overall performances.

Mohamed Salah helped Egypt secure World Cup qualification, while the likes of Hugo Ekitike, Andrew Robertson and the Dutch duo of Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo all contributed, too.

Even Florian Wirtz looked very lively for Germany, making six key passes and creating two big chances for his side.

As a result, the focus will be on Arne Slot, now, because with almost all of his players in form, he’s the one who needs to deliver. Can the Dutchman finally figure out a way to gel his new signings in alongside his stars of the season before?

Can he make the right adjustments to get Liverpool firing again? His biggest test is already around the corner with Manchester United’s trip to Anfield on Sunday.
