Following Liverpool’s pulsating 2-2 draw with Manchester United in last night’s Premier League showdown, Roy Keane didn’t mince his words when assessing Trent Alexander-Arnold’s defensive performance

The former player, known for his no-nonsense critiques, took aim at the Liverpool right-back during his post-match analysis. “Look at that defending today,” Keane remarked. “They say Trent is going to Real Madrid, but with defending like that, he’s going to Tranmere Rovers.”

Keane’s blunt assessment quickly became a talking point on social media, with fans and pundits weighing in on the 24-year-old’s defensive capabilities. While Alexander-Arnold has often been lauded for his creativity and attacking influence, his defensive vulnerabilities were once again in focus during the high-octane clash at Anfield.

Adding a dose of humor to the situation, Tranmere Rovers FC responded to Keane’s jab on Twitter with a funny reply: “Trent to Tranmere, Roy? Nah, we’re alright, thanks.” The League Two club’s response added to the online buzz surrounding the former Manchester United captain’s critique.
