Reports linking Trent Alexander-Arnold with a move to Real Madrid have intensified in recent weeks, and now Liverpool boss Arne Slot has commented on the matter

Manager insists right-back remains fully committed to club and will start against Man Utd at Anfield, where the Kop will welcome him warmly
