Arne Slot said Alexander-Arnold's poor game in Liverpool's draw with United isn't down to the Madrid rumours.

00:00It was clear that that Trent had some difficult moments as we as a team had

00:05but that is also for Trent not the first time I think for the majority of the

00:09games he played for this club they were very very very good but I I can't

00:14believe if if people tell me that he's never played a bad game for this club so

00:18that probably have happened before and mostly I think against the quality

00:22players like like United have especially in the positions he had to

00:26face I think nine out of ten people will tell you that it affected him but I'm

00:30one of the ten that tells you that I don't think that affected him what

00:33affected him is that he had to play Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalho which

00:38are two starters for Portugal great great great players and we have a

00:41fantastic player here with Diogo Jota and he's not even playing for Portugal

00:45so mostly he's not playing so that tells you how much quality United has and if

00:50these players set themselves to a game and that is what United once in a while

00:54does do then it's very difficult to play against them and I think that is

00:59more difficult for Trent to play against Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalho than it

01:03is the rumors that were there during the week but yeah that's my opinion and

01:10probably everybody's going to tell you that had to do with the rumors but my

01:13opinion is different
