Manchester: Gary Neville was pretty fired up about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s game against Manchester United. He thought Trent was all over the place and not focused, especially with all the chatter about a possible move to Real Madrid.
Neville mentioned that the timing of the Real Madrid bid was just off. He said it must be tough for a local lad like Trent to deal with that kind of distraction before a big match. It’s like having a million voices in your head, right?
He also called out Real Madrid for their approach, saying it was a bit cheeky to think they could snag Trent for just £20 million in January. Liverpool isn’t going to let him go that easily, and Neville made it clear that they’re a big club with high standards.
During the match, Trent struggled a lot, getting beaten in one-on-one situations and not really contributing much offensively. Luckily for Liverpool, they managed to grab a point thanks to goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah. But coach Arne Slot pointed out that Trent didn’t get much help from Ryan Gravenberch either.
Jamie Carragher even chimed in, saying the manager should’ve subbed Trent off earlier. He felt that once Manchester United scored, it was time for a change. It’s all about making those quick decisions, and Carragher thought the manager missed the mark this time.
With Trent’s contract ending soon, it’s clear he’s in a tough spot. Until that’s sorted out, he’s going to be in the spotlight, and not just for his on-field performance.
