Trent Alexander-Arnold has said that if any club has a right to complain about him and his performances, it might just be Manchester City.

The 21-year-old hasn’t managed to keep his place in the Socceroos squad this year and after his latest outing on the opening day of the season, the Liverpool defender had said that it “wasn’t good” at the Etihad Stadium and that he was “thinking positive”.
