The Liverpool head coach's Feyenoord side won the Eredivisie title in 2022/23 when the Manchester United legend was in charge of title rivals PSV Eindhoven.

Meanwhile, Gakpo scored once and claimed three assists in the former before joining the Reds mid-season.
Van Nistelrooy joined Leicester City last month. And having been impressed by his compatriot when locking horns in their homeland, Slot has warned his side that they cannot underestimate the relegation-threatened Foxes.
