Paul Scholes has criticised Arne Slot's 'disrespectful' and 'classless' act amid Liverpool's dismal form.
Liverpool have suffered back-to-back defeats since beating Real Madrid 1-0 in the Champions League.
They succumbed to Manchester City before the international break, then suffered a bruising 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Slot is under mounting pressure as a report claims Liverpool have made contact with a big-name manager to 'understand his long-term intentions'.

Despite leading the Reds to Premier League glory last season, Slot has come under intense scrutiny from fans and critics alike, including Scholes, who took aim at the 47-year-old's decision to fly to Ibiza before the end of last season.
Liverpool celebrated their league title triumph with a trip to Ibiza before the campaign had even concluded.
Speaking on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast, Scholes pulled no punches, describing the Ibiza getaway 'disrespectful' and 'classless'.
"I think this started towards the end of last season," he began. "Do you remember when they won the league?
"The bad form started; they went away, went to Ibiza or something."
Manchester United legend Scholes added: "Arne Slot was DJing. Honestly, DJing in Ibiza. I think that’s disrespectful that, before the season’s done. I think that’s classless."
Roy Keane also made reference to the trip, claiming Liverpool 'switched off' after winning the title.
At the time, he said: "Liverpool have switched off, haven’t they? They’re irritating me at the moment.
"It doesn’t matter [that they’ve won the league], but the fringe players coming in and they’re all in Ibiza - what kind of message is that?
"I’m thinking, ‘Come on, show a bit of class’. [Mohamed] Salah scores a goal and he’s taking pictures when the game’s still on. Come on, liven up a little bit.”
Slot's team have lost six of their last 11 games across all competitions, including league defeats to Chelsea and Man United.
Liverpool return to action on Wednesday when they host PSV Eindhoven before resuming their faltering league campaign on Sunday against West Ham United.
