The England international was at fault for Manchester United’s opener in the 2-2 draw at Anfield and was generally poor throughout, falling well below the high standards he has set himself.
At the start of the week Real, with whom Alexander-Arnold has been strongly linked with his contract expiring in the summer, made an approach about the possibility of signing the 26-year-old in the current transfer window.

Van Dijk offers contract update
Virgil van Dijk revealed that he is no closer to signing a new Liverpool deal after the team’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Sunday.
I’ve watched a lot of the games from the first half of the season and you can tell from those that the group is a tight one, full of players giving everything to achieve their goals.
“I’ve not played as much as I would have liked so far this season, but I feel ready to contribute and am looking forward to getting out there.”

Arne Slot reveals surprise Liverpool benefit from Trent Alexander-Arnold transfer saga
Arne Slot has claimed that the saga about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future is helpful to him as it prevents his Liverpool players from being overloaded with praise that could make them complacent.
Real Madrid made an initial approach for the right-back this week, which Liverpool rebuffed before the Champions League holders could even make a bid.
But Alexander-Arnold, along with Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, is out of contract in the summer and could leave Anfield on a free transfer.
The 26-year-old has been able to discuss a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs since New Year’s Day and Real have made no secret of their interest in him.

Carragher explains where Liverpool need to strengthen
Jamie Carragher says Liverpool need to sign a new left-back if they are to go into the market during the January transfer window.
“Liverpool need to sign a full-back.
I don’t think Kostas Tsimikas is quite of the standard to come in and replace him.
“I think if Liverpool could get a left back in January, I think that’d put Liverpool in a really strong position to win the league.”
