Trent Alexander-Arnold has fired a complacency dig at Manchester United as he challenges Liverpool to learn from mistakes made by their bitter rivals. Despite missing out on the Premier League title this season, the Reds can win a third trophy of the campaign in Paris on Saturday night.
Spanish giants Real Madrid are next up for Alexander-Arnold and his teammates as they aim to bring back a second Champions League medal in four years. Liverpool have already lifted the Carabao Cup and FA Cup before that game and the England star admits Jurgen Klopp and his team can't take current success for granted.
Speaking during a guest appearance on the Block Party podcast, Alexander-Arnold namedropped United - and their fall from grace - when outlining his ambitions for the Reds moving forward.

He said: "Growing up, I remember looking at Manchester United and thinking what it would be like to be going for league titles every year and Champions League trophies every year.
"To be able to do that now and be involved in it is something we can't take for granted. I'll use Manchester United as an example again. Now, they're probably thinking; 'We shouldn't have taken that sustained period of success for granted, because now it seems like we're far away from it'."
Alexander-Arnold continued: "For us fans and players, we can't get complacent and just get used to it. We have to really still enjoy it and keep our expectations where they need to be.
"We've got to enjoy the game for as long as we can, because it won't last forever. Sadly, at some point, everyone's going to leave the club and it'll be a lot different. Who knows when that will be?
"Football clubs change and evolve and managers can bring new players in. So, we've got to enjoy it as much as we can right now."
