Arne Slot and Trent Alexander-Arnold
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has refused to accept that the Real Madrid rumors caused Trent Alexander-Arnold's underwhelming display against Manchester United on Sunday (January 5). The two heavyweights of English football locked horns at Anfield in the Premier League, playing out an entertaining 2-2 draw.
Both of the Red Devils' goals came from buildup play on Alexander-Arnold's side (right) of the pitch. The 26-year-old struggled to cope with the threat of Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes amid speculation about his future.
Alexander-Arnold's contract with the Reds expires in just under six months and he hasn't signed a new deal yet. The player remains heavily linked with Real Madrid, although Liverpool are locked in talks to tie him down to an extension.
