Keane slams Liverpool fullback Alexander-Arnold: I can't believe how bad he is

Manchester United legend Roy Keane has slammed Trent Alexander-Arnold's defensive ability.

The Liverpool right-back has been lauded for his ability on the ball and his versatility.

The defender has played as a quasi midfielder for most of this season, but Keane believes that Alexander-Arnold should improve his defensive abilities as a full-back.

He told the Stick to Football Podcast: "I can't believe how bad [Trent Alexander-Arnold] is at defending.

"For a guy that's played a lot of games in defense, it's like he's never played the position before.

“How bad he is at defending, it's amazing when people just run past him."

Arsenal legend Ian Wright then defended the right-back, adding: "It's such a redundant argument.

"For people saying players run past him, he's not playing that role now. He is a creator now."
