Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk does not believe team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold's poor performance against Manchester United was because the right-back was impacted by talk about his future.
Alexander-Arnold gave the ball away prior to United taking the lead at Anfield on Sunday, and struggled in the 2-2 Premier League draw before being replaced by Conor Bradley after 86 minutes.
In the week leading up to the match, sources said Liverpool rejected an approach from Real Madrid about signing Alexander-Arnold in January as speculation about his future intensified.
The England international, like Van Dijk and forward Mohamed Salah, is out of contract in the summer and can officially talk to clubs from abroad.
