Tranmere Rovers Hit Back at Roy Keane’s Bold Claim That Trent Alexander-Arnold Should Choose Them Over Real Madrid – And It’s Breaking the Internet!

The League Two team has reacted to the former Manchester United captain’s opinion.

Tranmere Rovers have fired back at Roy Keane’s suggestion that Trent Alexander-Arnold should join them instead of Real Madrid, with the League Two club sharing a brilliant response on social media that has quickly gone viral.

Liverpool right-back Alexander-Arnold started in the club’s high-profile Premier League match against Manchester United at Anfield today. However, the defender struggled at times in the first half, with United creating a few strong opportunities down Liverpool’s right flank.

The defender was also responsible for United’s first goal after the break, which was ultimately converted by Lisandro Martinez to put the visitors in the lead.

Liverpool managed to rescue Alexander-Arnold from further criticism as Cody Gakpo equalized, and Mo Salah converted a penalty after Matthijs de Ligt handled the ball in the box. However, Amad Diallo struck back for United, leveling the score with just 10 minutes left.

During the interval, with the game still 0-0, former United captain Roy Keane criticized Alexander-Arnold’s defensive abilities.

The defender’s contract is set to expire at the end of this season, and rumors have been circulating about a potential free transfer to Spanish giants Real Madrid. However, Keane dismissed that possibility on Sky Sports after Alexander-Arnold’s first-half performance.

Keane commented: “The chances for United were so easy—just a couple of balls over the top.”

“We often talk about how brilliant Trent is going forward, but his defending today, my goodness, it’s schoolboy stuff,” Keane added.

“There’s talk about him going to Real Madrid, but the way he’s defending, he’s going to Tranmere Rovers after this! He’s got to do better,” Keane joked.

Tranmere Rovers, located on the opposite side of the River Mersey from Liverpool on the Wirral, currently sit 20th in League Two. Nigel Adkins’ team secured their first win in four games this weekend, beating Carlisle United 1-0 at home, thanks to a 23rd-minute goal from Cameron Norman.

Norman, who plays as a right-back—just like Alexander-Arnold—responded to Keane’s comments by making it clear that Tranmere Rovers are content with their current options in that position. The League Two club shared a brilliant response on social media, further highlighting their confidence in their squad.

The post features a picture of Norman celebrating his goal against Carlisle, accompanied by the caption: “Trent to Tranmere, Roy? Nah, we’re alright thanks.”
