Milos Kerkez has turned to social media following another torrid afternoon as Liverpool's woes deepened with a defeat to Manchester United . The Reds suffered their fourth consecutive loss after Harry Maguire's late header secured United's first Anfield triumph since 2016.

Arne Slot 's side fashioned numerous opportunities against their fierce rivals but remained defensively fragile.

They trailed early on in contentious circumstances through Bryan Mbeumo's second-minute strike, and while Cody Gakpo levelled matters in the 78th minute, Maguire's header six minutes later condemned them to a third successive Premier League defeat via a late winner.

Kerkez particularly struggled throughout the encounter, with Matthijs de Ligt revealing that United had specifically targeted Liverpool 's flanks, reports the Liverpool Echo .

"We knew that Liverpool had weaknesses, and that's their full-backs," he admitted to ViaPlay.

The Hungarian remains the sole player to have appeared in all 12 of Liverpool's fixtures this campaign, yet he continues to face relentless scrutiny and criticism after numerous underwhelming displays and errors since his £40m switch from AFC Bournemouth .

The 21-year-old battled against Amad Diallo in Sunday's loss, alongside both Mbuemo and Matheus Cunha.

Pundits Gary Neville , Jamie Redknapp and Jamie Carragher all criticised the defender during Sky Sports ' coverage from Anfield.

In the wake of the backlash, Kerkez took to Instagram on Monday to send a defiant message to Liverpool fans.

"We stay together and come back!" he penned alongside several photos from the match.

Kerkez wasn't the only one to turn to social media after the Reds' latest defeat, with Dominik Szoboszlai also showing his fighting spirit.

"These moments test us, but we're built for the fight! Back to work!" he posted, along with a photo of him applauding the fans.

Curtis Jones , too, rallied Liverpool supporters via his Instagram story.

"Difficult moment, not what we're used to and not what we want," he wrote. "We will get through this together.

"All focus on Wednesday, thank you for the support as always."

Liverpool are set to face Eintracht Frankfurt away in their next Champions League match on Wednesday.
