Alexander-Arnold: Liverpool can't take this time for granted - look at Man Utd

Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold has taken a swipe at Manchester United over their current struggles.

Jurgen Klopp's side are preparing for their third Champions League final in five years on Saturday when they battle Real Madrid in Paris, meanwhile United are way off the pace set by the top-flight's top two.

Speaking on blockasset's Block Party podcast, the right back said: "Growing up, I remember looking at Man United and thinking what it would be like to be them going for league titles every year, Champions League trophies every year.

"So to be able to do that now and be involved in it is something we can't take for granted.

"I'll use Man United as an example again, now, they're probably thinking, 'we shouldn't have taken that sustained period of success for granted because now it seems like we're far away from it'.

"For us fans and players, we can't get complacent and just get used to it, we have to really still enjoy it and keep our expectations where they need to be. We've got to enjoy the game for as long as we can because it won't last forever.

"Sadly, at some point, everyone's going to leave the club and it'll be a lot different. Who knows when that will be?

"But football clubs change and evolve and managers and new players come in. So you've got to enjoy it as much as we can right now."
