Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has backed Fernando Torres to get over his recent slump by gunning down Manchester United. [LNB]The Spain striker has had a slow start to the season and was criticised for a shot-shy display in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Birmingham. [LNB]The Reds are seven points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea after just one win in four games but Dalglish believes there is no better place than Old Trafford for Torres and his team-mates to get back on track. [LNB] Frustrating: Torres endured a miserable 90 minutes against Birmingham[LNB]The Scot, now an ambassador for the Anfield club, told talkSPORT: 'I don't think Fernando would think it was one of his better games (at Birmingham) but certainly he came as close as anybody in the Liverpool team to scorong a goal.[LNB] 'He's been through a lot, he had a lot of injuries last year and even in the World Cup final he was injured. He's come back this year and I think he's only played two or three games but he scored one against West Brom.[LNB] [LNB] Enlarge Happy hunting ground: Torres has scored on his last two trips to Old Trafford[LNB]'He might have a bad day but he's not a bad player. There's no one anywhere who wouldn't have him in the side. [LNB]'It might have been a bad day at the office for Fernando but he's a really good guy, he's a real quality player and I'm sure he'll be looking forward already to Manchester United on Sunday. He's not got a bad record there.' [LNB] Jamie Redknapp: Torres is a class act (just ask my son).
