Manchester United legend Roy Keane criticized Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) for his unique vitriol in the winter transfer market.
Regarding Liverpool right-back Alexander-Arnold, who has consistently performed poorly in the 21st round of the 2024-2025 English Premier League (EPL) between Liverpool and Manchester United at Anfield in Liverpool, England, on the 6th (Korea time), `Arnold is said to be moving to Real Madrid, but if today's performance is as good as today, he will go to Transmere Rovers (not Real)."
Tranmere, mentioned by Keane, is a team in the league two currently in England's fourth division. Analysts say Arnold's performance was suitable for the fourth division, not Real, which is called one of the best teams on the planet. Arnold is widely rumored to be able to move to Real ahead of the expiration of his contract with Liverpool in June. There are even media outlets that report specific salaries.

'OO is the lower league level' is Keane's habit. "It's a world class in front of goal, but the general performance is too low," he said of the lackluster performance against Arsenal in April. He is almost like a fourth-division player." The controversy was so controversial that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola refuted at an official press conference, saying, `Then Keane is the manager of the second and third divisions.'
It is undeniable that Arnold was so sluggish that he was helplessly penetrated by Manchester United's side attack. Lisandro Martinez's first goal in the 7th minute of the second half and Manchester United striker Ahmad Diallo's equalizer in the 35th minute of the second half, when Liverpool turned the game 2-1 with consecutive goals from Cody Hakpo and Mohamed Salah, both began to attack on the right side, Arnold's position. The match ended in a 2-2 draw. Liverpool's winning streak ended in four games, and United's losing streak ended in four games. Liverpool maintained its lead with 46 points, while Manchester United added one point to rank 13th.
The more humiliating thing for Arnold happened after the game. Tranmere, who was "suddenly summoned" by Keane's comment, publicly refused Arnold's recruitment through his official SNS account. "What? Arnold's coming to Tranmere, Keane? All right. We're fine. Thank you," he wrote.
