Joey Barton says Liverpool ‘played with 10 men’ against Man Utd Joey Barton says Liverpool were essentially ‘playing with 10 men’ against Manchester United as Trent Alexander-Arnold was a ‘passenger’ throughout.
United had suffered four defeats on the bounce prior to their trip to Anfield but produced a much-improved performance to hold Premier League leaders Liverpool to a 2-2 draw.
Former Premier League midfielder Barton suggested Alexander-Arnold was already ‘mentally’ in the Spanish capital and said he was ‘non-existent’ against Manchester United.
‘Liverpool could do with putting Trent on,’ Barton posted on X during the game, before ripping into the England star after the stalemate.
Liverpool rejected a £20m bid from Madrid last week and the La Liga giants are now considering returning with a second, improved offer.
