Liverpool starlet Trent Alexander-Arnold reveals his mum 'started crying' when she found out he was starting against Manchester United

Trent Alexander-Arnold's mum 'started crying' when she found out the Liverpool defender was making his Premier League debut at Old Trafford last weekend.

The 18-year-old was drafted in as a late replacement after first choice right back Nathaniel Clyne picked up an injury.

The academy product gave as good as he got as the Reds were denied all three points by a late Zlatan Ibrahimovic equaliser for Manchester United.
