Roy Keane is a Manchester United legend, so it comes as no surprise to hear him say some unflattering things about the Liverpool player.
Speaking about Trent Alexander-Arnold on ITV Sport, the Irishman said: “It is important to get the balance right within the team. There are players who can win football games, but playing decent defense against really better teams is important.

“They will be fine within the group. Trent should be fine in that game as well. But I think you’ll notice that much against really top teams.
“I think if he plays against one of the better teams in the center of midfield he will be torn apart. I don’t think he’ll be up to the task.”

It’s amazing how the Scouser can win every trophy offered to him as a player at the age of 25 and still play as a right-back in such a disrespected team.
Our vice-captain has enough defensive ability to add to his unrivaled passing talent and no one should say this about him.
