Alexander-Arnold Performance Blasphemed By Former Manchester United Captain
Roy Keane criticized Trent Alexander-Arnold's defensive appearance in Liverpool's draw against Manchester United 2-2 on Sunday, January 5, 2025, WIB night, at Anfield.
Manchester United took a 1-0 lead in the 52nd minute after Leandro Martinez passed Alexander-Arnold and fired a shot that was missed by Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson.
Prior to the goal, Manchester United legend Roy Keane had fired warning shots at the right-back, which has been linked with a move to Real Madrid this summer, in the first half.
"We're talking about how brilliant Trent is in attack. However, Trent is surviving today, oh my goodness, it's like a school kid," Keane said at Sky Sports.
"They talked about him moving to Real Madrid. However, seeing the way he survives, he will move to Tranmere Rovers (the fourth/dividential League Two club) after this. He has to play better," he said again.
