Liverpool came out of the English derby against Manchester United (2-2) with just one point this Sunday in the Premier League. This score could have leaned heavily in favor of the Red Devils, especially if Harry Maguire, perfectly served by Joshua Zirkzee, had not completely missed his volley in added time.
During this meeting, the Mersey club lacked defensive rigor on the flanks, like Trent Alexander-Arnold. The English right-back delivered a poor performance against the historic rival. And as was to be expected, the vice-captain of the Reds did not escape criticism.
Alexander-Arnold fails
The former glory of United, Roy Keane, did not pull any punches and severely criticized the performance of the child from Mersey. The latter, still in talks with LFC management after recently receiving an XXL extension offer, is also linked to rumors sending him to Real Madrid. Which did not prevent the former Irish international from judging the level displayed by the number 66 worthy of a League Two team (4th English division), citing Tranmere Rovers.
“It’s too easy. You just have to send a few balloons over him. We talk about Trent’s offensive quality, but he defended like a schoolboy. There is talk of him leaving for Real Madrid, but given the way he defends, he will go to Tranmere Rovers after that. He must do better”launched the consultant for SkySports.
These statements did not fail to amuse the Birkenhead club, who also joked in their own way on social networks. “Trent in Tranmere, Roy?” No, it’s okay, thank you »replied the Super Whites on X,
