Former Ireland and Manchester United captain, Roy Keane has fired a warning to England coach, Gareth Southgate for naming Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold.
In an interview on the “Stick to Football” podcast, he stressed the fact that the Liverpool star is not capable of defending in big matches and could cost the Three Lions of England.
He said, “You can’t play him in there [midfield] against one of the top teams.
“In one or two of the group games, you get away with it, but if you play Trent in there against one of the top nations, the defensive side of the game we are talking about, he can’t defend.
“I think Trent, against the real top teams—France or Germany, whoever it may be—in the knockout games—if you are playing Trent in there [midfield], defensively, he can’t defend!”
