Rio Ferdinand has shared his opinion on Trent Alexander-Arnold. The retired centre-back says that the 21-year-old is one of the best players right now.
"Trent Alexander, I saw him against Atletico Madrid at Anfield," the ex-Man United man said on Instagram as cited by Metro.
"If any kid right-back wants to watch a player in today’s modern game play right-back, get that 45-minute clip.
"The way he controlled the game from right-back, the last person I’ve seen do something like that is maybe Cafu.
"He played every pass in the book; outside of the boot, crossfield fade, sprayed it far and wide across the pitch, whipped it behind the defence. He did everything.
"Trent is an absolute mad footballer, I don’t care what anyone says, he plays for Liverpool and I don’t care, the kid can play.
"As good a passer about, he’s up there, you talk about the De Bruyne’s of this world, I'm not going too far or overcooking it to say that Trent Alexander is in around them boys when talking about top passers, and he’s at right back by the way.
"Unheard of. You weren’t seeing Gary Neville pass the ball like that, as good as Neville was he couldn’t pass the ball like Trent Alexander."
Here's Cafu's opinion on Trent:
Quite unexpected praise from the former Old Trafford fan favourite and a nice slap in the face of famous LFC hater Gary Neville who popped the bottle of champagne after the Reds' defeat against Watford.
Even Neville had to admit Alexander-Arnold's quality, though, as he said that the right-back is 'absolutely exceptional' back in February.
This is not the first time Ferdinand lauds Liverpool and our players, though. In January, he said that the Reds are 'the team who everyone are aspiring to be' and raved about Sadio Mane.
