The unlimited potential that sees Trent Alexander-Arnold become the best right-back in the world

On January 15, 2017, Liverpool went to Old Trafford to face Manchester United, a historically gigantic match for the Reds club and fans.

However, Jurgen Klopp's team was affected by an injury-related crisis before the match, especially in the right back.

To everyone's surprise, Klopp created a little-known young player.

This was to be the first Premier League debut of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The young man had a difficult time, but he helped the Reds to a 1-1 draw, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic scoring a tying goal.

Since that day Alexander-Arnold has grown over the years and is now the undisputed first choice of the club, just 20 years old.

But how far can Alexander-Arnold go?

We used FIFA 19 to find out.
