Alexander Arnold, whose contract with Liverpool expires at the end of this season, is expected to constantly make headlines throughout the January transfer market after rumors surfaced that he had publicly asked the club to go to Real Madrid. In particular, when Alexander Arnold suffered from Diogo Dalot throughout the game and was eventually replaced by Conor Bradley in the 41st minute of the second half, there was a lot of criticism from experts and fans.In particular, the remarks of commentator Roy Keane, a former captain of Manchester United, made a big splash. Keane sarcastically told Sky Sports, `There is talk that he is going to Real Madrid, but if you look at him defending, there is talk that he is going to go to Tranmere Rovers in League Two (third division) after this game.'"I gave a word.
"We've often talked about how outstanding Trent is, but today Trent's defense was like a boy playing football at school"I made a straightforward remark.
League Two's Tranmere immediately reacted to Keane's comments. Posting a photo of main fullback Cameron Norman on social media and sending "Trent to Tranmere? Roy? No, we're fine. Thank you" to fans' laughter with a witty comment.
While Alexander Arnold has remained silent about his future in Liverpool, some say that this atmosphere has made him uneasy as rumors have poured out. Some media have reported that Real Madrid want to sign him as an FA or free agent in January or at the end of the season, and Liverpool are trying to keep him on better terms.
It is not surprising that Manchester United's two goals came from this side, as Manchester United's main offensive line is the left side where Bruno Fernandes and Dalot are strong. In fact, 54% of Manchester United's attacks took place in this space. Both of these goals came from Liverpool's right side space guarded by Alexander-Arnold, and the problem is that they could not overcome Manchester United's operation to target Liverpool's right side. The BBC pointed out that "the biggest problem, rather than the fact that Alexander Arnold missed only two dribbles, was that he lost all five one-on-one encounters in the game and failed to block the opponent's chance to hit Liverpool's space."

Asked in a post-match interview if the current contract situation with Liverpool had affected him, manager Arne Slot replied "9 out of 10 would have affected but I'm one of those 10 who says no." `What influenced him was that he had to play against key Portuguese strikers Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot,' he said. `For Trent, it would have been much more difficult to fight the situation than the rumors circulating during the week.'
However, Manchester United legend Gary Neville saw Real Madrid's offer as a bad timing for Trent. "Real Madrid is a very strong club, so there may have been anxiety. There are three factors in the performance. "I've played like this before, I've just played a bad game, or his mind has been influenced by every story," he said, criticizing "His pass and forward play were the worst I've ever seen." Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher also said "There has never been a worse game for him. It should have been replaced earlier." Alan Shearer added: "Trent has had a lot of impressive games, but today was not one of them. Dalot overwhelmed him 99 percent of the time", he commented.
