Neville: Man Utd will target Liverpool's weak spot - Alexander-Arnold

Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville believes they will target Trent Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool on Sunday.

Erik ten Hag's men will be hoping to continue their impressive run of form against their rivals - having just won the Carabao Cup against Newcastle - and face a Liverpool side who have struggled this season but are on the up after three wins in their last four.

"They will target Trent Alexander-Arnold," Neville told Sky Sports. "(Marcus) Rashford plays on that side, as does Luke Shaw. United attack well down that side. Rashford is in unbelievable form and he will fancy it.

"United will target him no doubt but they'll also target the whole back four because Liverpool have shown they have vulnerabilities all season. United will feel they can have a right go at them.

"I've never seen someone at right back kick the ball like Alexander-Arnold does but I always felt if he doesn't attend to his defensive duties, it will cause him problems. "That moment has come."
