5 things you didn't know about Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold

#3 His first Premier League start came at Old Trafford away to Manchester United

TAA kept the threat of Anthony Martial at bay in the high profile fixture back in January

It is by no means an easy task to play away at Old Trafford, especially when you come from the red half of Merseyside. Essentially the biggest rivalry in English football and one of the biggest in the world, matches between the two clubs produced some exhilarating performances both from the players and the crowd in the past. The clash January was no different.

With Liverpool’s first choice right-back Nathaniel Clyne out with a rib injury prior to the match, Klopp had to bank on boy wonder Trent Alexander-Arnold to bail him out. And boy did he do well.

A solid performance by the teenager in a hostile atmosphere lit up the away stand as Alexander-Arnold numbed the threat of Anthony Martial on the left flank. On being asked to pick a game in his debut season, Trent told the Echo,”I’ll have to say Old Trafford in January. I didn’t expect it to go how it did. I though I might struggle a lot more against such a high quality winger such as Martial. I think I handled it quite well.” Yes you did Trent.
