LONDON: Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat at Manchester United last season proved to be a turning point in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s fledgling career as it gave him the opportunity to learn from his mistakes, the Merseyside club’s right back said. United forward Marcus Rashford had got the better of Alexander-Arnold twice in 24 minutes to give the Old Trafford side a 2-0 lead and the young defender, then 19, was singled out for his part in conceding the two goals. “The Manchester United game was definitely one of those games. It is something that has helped me learn, progress and move forward,” Alexander-Arnold added. Obviously the Champions League final (where Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 in May) came after, which was tougher than that.”
