Liverpool players apparently had to be separated in a tense meeting in the dressing room after yesterday’s frustrating 2-2 draw with Manchester United.
Rumors circulating on social media suggest that all is not right within the Liverpool squad at the moment, and the uncertain future of Trent Alexander-Arnold may be starting to unsettle the rest of the squad.
Alexander-Arnold did not play his best game yesterday and it was clear at one point Virgil van Dijk was not happy at all with his teammate.

It remains to be seen how reliable those rumors are, but a number of high-profile statements seem to be saying similar things about the negative reaction to yesterday’s game and concerns that the Alexander-Arnold contract situation is dragging on and becoming a distraction…
Liverpool will no doubt look back on this as an extremely frustrating two points dropped, with Arne Slott’s side going into the game against Man Utd as heavy favourites.
Before the game there was talk of a possible repeat of something similar to the 7-0 defeat of a few years ago, but United somewhat spoiled the party with a surprisingly determined performance.
Should Liverpool put the off-field stuff to bed?
Liverpool have been pretty flawless on the pitch this season and Slott has done an excellent job since taking over from Jurgen Klopp this summer.
There’s certainly no need to panic just yet, but if the atmosphere in the LFC dressing room really isn’t that great because of these protracted contract sagas, then maybe that could be a problem soon.
Alexander-Arnold seems to be the biggest concernand he was especially bad yesterday against the Red Devils, but it is also the case that Mohamed Salah and Van Dijk are yet to agree new contracts.
This is certainly something that Slott and everyone else at Liverpool will want to quiet down as soon as possible, so it will be interesting to see how the performances and results continue if this remains a draw.
