Liverpool: Recently, Emmanuel Petit made some bold claims about Trent Alexander-Arnold. He said that Trent “hates” defending and called his performance against Manchester United “horrible.”
It was a tough day for Trent at Anfield, with both of United’s goals coming from his side. He seemed a bit off his game, especially when Bruno Fernandes set up Lisandro Martinez for the first goal.
Petit didn’t hold back, saying that while Trent has amazing skills with the ball, he struggles defensively. He pointed out that Liverpool can manage his weaknesses, but they almost paid the price against United.
He added, “When you play in a team like Liverpool, they can handle that weakness, but they almost lost to Manchester United at Anfield because of him.” It’s clear that Petit thinks Trent needs to step up his defensive game.
Trent’s future has also been a hot topic lately, especially with Real Madrid reportedly interested in him. They’ve been eyeing him as a top target for 2025, and he could sign a pre-contract soon.
Despite all the chatter, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk downplayed any distractions for Trent. He said, “He wants to perform in the best way possible like we all do.” It seems like the focus is still on the game for Trent, even with all the rumors swirling around.
