Liverpool wish former star Trent Alexander-Arnold happy birthday - but not all fans appear to have taken it well

Trent Alexander-Arnold was wished a happy birthday by Liverpool's official social media account on Tuesday — but the post has received a mixed reaction from fans after his controversial exit to Real Madrid last summer.

The former Reds full-back, now 27, upset a huge proportion of Liverpool's fanbase last season after running down his contract and choosing to join Real Madrid on a free transfer.

Rather than receiving an emotional farewell from supporters, the England international — who came through Liverpool's academy and helped the club win the Champions League and two Premier League titles — was loudly booed by several fans in the final few months of last campaign.
