Jamie Carragher criticises Liverpool fans for booing Trent Alexander-Arnold

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has criticised fans at Anfield for booing Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The Reds right-back confirmed earlier this week he would not be signing a new contract when his current deal with the newly-crowned Premier League champions expires this summer.

Alexander-Arnold, who has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, was subjected to audible jeers as he was introduced as a 67th-minute substitute during the 2-2 draw with Arsenal and that continued with most of his touches of the ball.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has informed Liverpool FC of his intention to leave the club this summer upon the expiry of his current contract.

“I’m surprised how many. When you’re in a crowd of 60,000, there’s no doubt there’s a lot of unhappy people at Liverpool about the situation, and I’ve said that’s understandable,” Carragher told Sky Sports.

“But for me, I don’t believe any player putting on that red shirt, on going out there to get them three points or winning titles, who goes on to win trophies should be being booed.

“I understand, there’s a lot of ill-feeling, and some people outside of Liverpool won’t be able to understand that. I do.

“(But) booing one of your own players while they are playing is not for me.”
