Accusing Trent Alexander-Arnold of betrayal is idiotic. He should be leaving for Real Madrid garlanded with thanks, writes OLIVER HOLT

I thought of Kevin De Bruyne when I heard Monday morning's confirmation of Trent Alexander-Arnold's plan to leave Liverpool at the end of the season. I thought of De Bruyne when I saw people, claiming to be Liverpool supporters, accusing Alexander-Arnold of betrayal.

I'm at a stage of life where I tend to glorify the players of yesteryear and so I think of footballers like Colin Bell, Mike Summerbee, Francis Lee, Paul Lake and Georgi Kinkladze, as City's greatest players but I still believe that De Bruyne is better than all of them, the best ever to pull on the famous sky-blue shirt, the best City player I have ever seen.
