The Reds endured an underwhelming season in the Premier League, and the former Liverpool midfielder thinks Slot needs a dramatic upturn in results if he's to retain his job next season.

Speaking on talkSPORT's Kick Off show, Murphy explained: "If Slot doesn't start well, it's [pressure] going to start again.

"I don't think he's got a big say in the players [recruitment], by the way. But I think he's going to have some sort of say in the players that come in.

"But if he starts badly and they're sitting in fifth, sixth after eight games, it's done."

Murphy thinks Liverpool should consider making a move for Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique after the upcoming Champions League final.

He said: "I would try and break the bank and do anything I can to get Luis Enrique."

Murphy suggested that Enrique might seek a new challenge if he wins back-to-back Champions Leagues with the French side.

The former England midfielder said: "If Enrique wins the Champions League again, what more can he do?

"He must be bored there, playing in a Mickey Mouse league where he wins every week. All he's looking forward to is the Champions League. He must want more challenge, surely?

"If you watch PSG as a Liverpool fan, you're thinking, that's how I want us to play. A bit like Jurgen Klopp's team, aren't they, PSG? And if you're one of the biggest clubs in the world, go and get the best."

A portion of Liverpool fans have turned on Slot over recent months, and Murphy thinks he might struggle to regain their trust after a tough campaign.

Murphy - who also played for the likes of Fulham and Tottenham during his career - said: "I think the noise has just grown.

"I mean, if it dissipated because they started winning some games and playing well at the end of the season, that's fair enough. But it hasn't, it's gone the other way."
