Dwight Yorke suggests Manchester United should pursue Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold if he becomes discontented under new manager Arne Slot. Alexander-Arnold, renowned for his Premier League versatility, recently played midfield for England, an experiment led by Gareth Southgate that hasn’t been very successful. With Liverpool in a transitional phase following Jurgen Klopp’s departure, Yorke sees an opportunity for Man Utd to capitalize if the defender becomes unsettled.
Under Slot’s management, it’s crucial to see whether Alexander-Arnold can retain his top form and adapt to potential positional changes at Liverpool. Yorke believes that if the team struggles and Alexander-Arnold seeks a move, Man Utd should aggressively pursue him, drawing parallels to Leroy Sane’s situation at Manchester City before his successful stint in Germany. This approach could offer Man Utd a strategic edge in fortifying their defence.
Besides focusing on Alexander-Arnold, Yorke comments on Chelsea’s interest in Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran. He theorizes that while Duran’s potential is significant, his opportunities at Chelsea may be limited due to existing competition. Comparing Duran to Nicolas Jackson, Yorke suggests that, with adequate playtime and development, Duran could surpass Jackson’s performance levels. This potential transfer highlights the competitive nature of Premier League clubs aiming to bolster their squads.
