VIRGIL VAN DIJK was caught screaming at Trent Alexander-Arnold as he had a game to forget against Manchester United.
The Liverpool right-back was caught out of position on multiple occasions, one of which led to a goal for the visitors.
Alexander-Arnold was warned in the first half after he played Rasmus Hojlund onside for a one-on-one, which the striker missed.
He was slammed by Roy Keane at half-time for his terrible defending but he did not learn his lesson and was punished when he gave the ball away in the build-up to Lisandro Martinez's opener.
Keane said: "Trent’s defending today, my goodness, it’s like schoolboy stuff.
"They’re talking about him going to Real Madrid? He’ll be going to Tranmere Rovers after this! He's got to do better."
Later in the second half the England star was again missing from the backline and Van Dijk had to get across to block a shot from United left wing-back Diogo Dalot - a player Alexander-Arnold should have been marking.
Van Dijk responded by shouting at his team-mate, who fortunately for him had turned to face the other way.
The Dutchman also berated Alexander-Arnold for taking too long with a throw-in.
Arne Slot eventually saw enough and hooked the Liverpool star moments after he was booked in the 83rd minute.
Fans were equally scathing of Alexander-Arnold's dire display, which came in a week where reports claimed he has agreed a deal to join Real Madrid.
One supporter said: "Watching that Trent Alexander-Arnold performance today was unbelievable. Van Dijk and Konate working overtime to compensate defensively."
Another added: "Van Dijk HATES Alexander-Arnold lol."
A third wrote: "Van Dijk is livid. Way too easy. Sleeping at times."
And another commented: "Did anybody else pick up the notion Van Dijk was really upset with their defensive back? To me it looked like he kept hollering at Trent Alexander Arnold. Wonder if the transfer talks is getting to them."
