"Liverpool manager Arne Slot says he has "only positive" memories of Trent Alexander-Arnold as the wideman prepares for a potentially frosty reception on his first return to Anfield since leaving for Real Madrid. Home fans jeered Alexander-Arnold's name before kick-off and booed when he replaced Conor Bradley during a 2-2 home draw with Arsenal days in May, days after announcing that he would end his 21-year association with the club when his contract expired at the end of last season."
""I can only tell you what reception he will get from me," Slot replied when he was asked about Alexander-Arnold before the Spanish side arrive for the league phase match in the Champions League. "I have great memories of the player and human being. He was my vice-captain last season and my memories of working with him are only positive.""

Jamie Carragher suggested the transfer may have damaged Alexander-Arnold’s local legacy and provoked fan resentment.
