Jurgen Klopp fires a dig at England manager

Gareth Southgate opted to start Alexander-Arnold in midfielder during England's 4-0 win over Andorra in a 2022 World Cup qualifier last weekend.

However, Klopp admits he has no plans to move the 22-year-old into the middle of the park and feels he is the best right-back in the world.

"If you watch our games, Trent's position already changed when possible," the Liverpool boss told reporters.

"No need to make him a midfielder now. A shame we talk about this in 2021, good players play everywhere - Trent plays right-wing, everywhere. He can play midfield. More a six than eight.

"But why would you make the best right-back in the world a midfielder? I struggle to understand how you can think that.

"Some people think he could be more influential in midfield. How is it possible to be more influential than Trent Alexander-Arnold? We use him as good as we can."
