Ex-Liverpool defender Enrique: Robertson now world's best

Ex-Liverpool defender Jose Enrique has hailed Andy Robertson as the world's best left-back.

Robertson has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the past few seasons and is one of the first names on Jurgen Klopp's teamsheet.

A former left-back himself, Enrique thinks there isn't a finer player than Robertson in the increasingly important position.

"He is unbelievable," Enrique said. "I've said it before, for me, last year he was the best left-back in the world.

"I know that was given to Marcelo but that was not fair in my opinion. Not just because Liverpool won the Champions League but because he has been an amazing player for Liverpool.

"He gives so much to that side. And him and Mane together (on Liverpool's left)- I wouldn't want to be on the right side for the other team."
