It’s an open secret that Gary Lineker is a big fan of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The former England striker turned popular football pundit has raved about the Liverpool right-back on several occasions, even comparing with him Manchester City’s world-class midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.

The 22-year-old put a masterclass performance last night as Liverpool won 4-2 against arch-rivals Manchester United in the Premier League at Old Trafford.

The victory ensured Liverpool still have a chance of bagging a Champions League spot this season, with three games left to play.

Roberto Firmino scored a brace, while Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah also scored to earn all three points for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

However, it was Alexander-Arnold’s performance that left the pundits awestruck. The youngster was simply superb on the night with his drive, energy, passing and creativity.

Lineker posted this on Twitter:

Well, this game has certainly confirmed @TrentAA’s place in the England squad. Seems ridiculous that it could ever be in doubt. Best player on the pitch in front of the watching Gareth Southgate.
