Former Manchester United player Paul Parker has slammed Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold. The comments came after the English defended had a dismal outing during Liverpool's 2-2 draw against Manchester United last weekend.
Speaking to Betting Expert, Parker stated that Alexander-Arnold would not be a target for Real Madrid if he was not at the end of his contract with Liverpool. He believes the defender is putting himself ahead of the club and his teammates.
“If he really wanted to stay—being a local boy—he would have signed already," he said. "He’s spoken about wanting to win the Ballon d’Or, and maybe he feels he needs to go to Real Madrid to achieve that. But realistically, how does a full-back win it? It’s an outrageous statement. The Ballon d’Or doesn’t carry the weight it used to; it’s been tainted. Carvajal is the best right-back because he gets forward, creates goals, and even scores. But first and foremost, he defends. Attackers hate playing against him because he’s relentless and physically tough.”
