Trent Alexander-Arnold, a player for Real Madrid and formerly of Liverpool, is unlikely to enjoy a smooth tenure at the Spanish club should José Mourinho be appointed as its manager. This prediction comes from Gabby Agbonlahor, a former Aston Villa player, who shared his concerns on TalkSport.
Mourinho is expected to take the helm at Real Madrid if Florentino Pérez secures re-election as club president in the upcoming election on Saturday, where Pérez is considered the strong favorite.
"I have concerns about Trent," Agbonlahor stated. "Denzel Dumfries is on his way, and he suits Mourinho much better. I can't see Trent playing much under Mourinho. He will not have seven days of peace."
Agbonlahor's comments suggest that Alexander-Arnold's playing time could be significantly reduced under Mourinho's management, particularly with the potential arrival of Dumfries, who is seen as a more suitable player for Mourinho's tactical approach.
I have concerns about Trent. Denzel Dumfries is on his way, and he suits Mourinho much better. I can't see Trent playing much under Mourinho. He will not have seven days of peace.
