‘Nah, we’re alright thanks’: Tranmere Rovers takes brutal dig at Trent Alexander Arnold after Roy Keane statement | Football News
With Liverpool player Trent Alexander Arnold coming under fire from all corners due to his less than impressive display against Manchester United on Sunday, League Two side Tranmere Rovers also took a brutal dig at the right back.
This all started when United took advantage of Trent’s defensive frailties with Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes and later, Alejandro Garnacho repeatedly running in behind the defender which ultimately resulted in the Red Devils scoring 2 goals against their archrivals with the match ending 2-2.
With Trent’s future hanging in the balance at the club due to a supposed bid Real Madrid, former United player and current pundit Roy Keane savaged the player saying that the defensive performance he pulled on Sunday would be better suited to Tranmere Rovers than Real.

“They talk about him going to Real Madrid, the way he’s defending, he’s going to Tranmere Rovers after this, he’s got to do better,” Keane said.
Rovers would react to the quote saying, “Trent to Tranmere, Roy? Nah, we’re alright thanks.” which was a cheeky dig at the English international.
In the match, Amad Diallo struck a late equaliser as Manchester United made a mockery of their recent form to hold Premier League leaders Liverpool to a thrilling 2-2 draw at Anfield.
It looked as though Ruben Amorim’s United would go home empty-handed despite a vastly-improved display but Diallo swept in a shot in the 80th minute to earn his side a point.
United had gone ahead in the 52nd minute when Lisandro Martinez powered home a ferocious shot from a tight angle.
But an off-key Liverpool responded seven minutes later with Cody Gakpo curling home a stunning equaliser before Mohamed Salah put the hosts ahead from the penalty spot.
After Diallo’s leveller both sides had chances to win in a frantic finale but it was United’s fans who went home happiest. Liverpool have 46 points from 19 games, six more than Arsenal, while United moved up a place to 13th with 23 points.
