Legendary England and Manchester United defender Gary Neville has said that Trent Alexander-Arnold has “the material to be the very best right-back of all time”.
Alexander-Arnold, who helped Liverpool salvage a 1-1 draw against Manchester City at the Etihad, scoring an important goal in the 80th minute has over time been lauded for his attacking qualities.
Neville, who many have termed to be one of the greatest right-backs in England's history, expressed that Trent Alexander-Arnold is a sensational footballer.
The 48-year-old noted that he has in the past been critical of his fellow countryman, for his defensive frailties.
Alexander-Arnold also started the afternoon against Manchester City shaky, but quickly got his rhythm as the game progressed.
The defender was criticized for his role in City's opener, with Nathan Ake haring past him before releasing Erling Haaland, who put the Cityzens ahead in the 27th minute.
Trent Alexander-Arnold made his debut for the Reds on October 25, 2016, in an EFL Cup encounter against Tottenham Hotspur. He was aged 18 years and 18 days.
The game ended 2-1, with former England international Daniel Sturridge scoring a brace for Liverpool.
Dutch forward Vincent Janssen scored the consolation for Spurs, as Jurgen Klopp's side were victors on the day.
Alexander-Arnold started the game and played for about 68 minutes before he was replaced by Nathaniel Clyne.
The 25-year-old has gone on to make 288 appearances for his boyhood club, scoring 17 goals and providing 75 assists in all competitions.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is fantastic when it comes to taking free-kicks, and he has an eagle eye to pick out a player and deliver a pass with unreal accuracy.
Speaking on the abilities of Arnold, Gary Neville expressed that the England international must improve defensively.
He said: “He's got the material to be the very best right-back of all time. But he's going to have to be a little bit more serious about his defending because currently he struggles to get into the England team, or he has struggled.
“He will need to, when Liverpool and England are under the cosh, be able to be a resilient, tough defensive player as well.
“That's something I think he can add to his game. I don't give up on the fact that he can be a very good defender.”
Alexander-Arnold has made 15 appearances for Liverpool this campaign, scoring 1 goal and providing 3 assists in all competitions.
Internationally, the 25-year-old has struggled to stake a starting shirt under Gareth Southgate, with Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier often preferred over him.
He has made just 23 appearances for England, scoring 2 goals and providing 5 assists thus far.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has won many trophies with Liverpool, including; 1 Premier League, 1 UEFA Champions League, and 1 FIFA Club World Cup.
