Alexander-Arnold: Liverpool fan demands right-back is sold after Man Utd loss

Liverpool’s winless start to the new Premier League season continued on Monday evening as they fell to a limp 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils secured a much-needed victory thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, with Mo Salah’s late strike for Liverpool proving a mere consolation on the night.

After disappointing draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace to begin their campaign, Jurgen Klopp’s men entered their worst performance of the season so far at the ‘Theatre of Dreams’.

Undoubtedly second best throughout the entire contest, the Reds deserved to return to Merseyside with nothing to show for their trip.

Klopp, then, has plenty of work to do before Liverpool play host to Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon. After taking just two points from a possible nine, a win against the Cherries is a must.

Losing further ground is not something that any Liverpool fan will want to contemplate.

At the end of the last season, Liverpool took 51 points from a possible 57 in their final 19 games – and it still wasn’t enough to catch City.

Frustration among the Reds’ fanbase at the underwhelming start to their campaign is understandable.

With that said, it’s important to keep things in perspective. Under Klopp, Liverpool have won pretty much every major trophy available to them on at least one occasion over the past four years.
