Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk appeared visibly frustrated with Trent Alexander-Arnold after a sloppy moment during their 2-2 draw against Manchester United.
Alexander-Arnold had a subpar performance as Arne Slot’s side settled for a point against a struggling United team in an unexpected result at Anfield.
Despite entering the match in excellent form and as clear favorites, Liverpool found themselves behind early in the second half. Although they regained the lead shortly after, United equalized again to secure the draw. A clip from the game shows Van Dijk’s irritation when Alexander-Arnold lost possession in the United half and failed to track back quickly enough, leaving Van Dijk to resolve the situation and respond with an icy glare.
Is Alexander-Arnold’s Contract Saga Affecting His Form?
While Liverpool’s on-pitch performance has been strong overall, off-field issues surrounding Alexander-Arnold’s future have become a concern. With his contract set to expire in a few months, questions about his next move may be affecting his confidence and consistency.
Fans were left disappointed by Alexander-Arnold’s below-par showing in such a crucial game, and speculation about his future could be contributing to his struggles. Similar uncertainty surrounds Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, whose contracts are also nearing their end, but Alexander-Arnold’s dip in form against United was particularly noticeable.
