Manchester United-linked Antony names Liverpool star as 'one of the best' in glowing praise

Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold is earning praise from a player being heavily linked with a move to Manchester United.

The Reds full-back has established himself as one of the best in his position across world football. At the age of just 23, he already won seven major trophies in a Liverpool shirt.

Alexander-Arnold was in fine form for Liverpool last season, contributing 19 assists in all competitions. He was also just one behind team-mate Mohamed Salah for the most in the Premier League with 12 in 32 appearances.

Thanks to his impressive form over the past few seasons, Alexander-Arnold’s reputation has extended to across Europe. Ajax star Antony has admitted that he is a big fan of the Liverpool full-back.

“I’m going to stick with Alexander-Arnold,” Antony told Playstation, when asked to pick a player for the best defensive skills.

“He is a player I like very much, and for me one of the best in the world.”

Antony has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United in recent weeks. The Brazilian is thought to be a target for Liverpool’s Premier League rivals after they missed out on the signing of Darwin Nunez to the Reds.
