Scholes believes Slot doesn't have a good opinion of a Liverpool player, even though he has been performing well.

Paul Scholes, a legendary player for Manchester United, has raised concerns about Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot, and his potential dislike for Trent Alexander-Arnold's playing style. Liverpool, under their new manager, have had a perfect start to the season, winning all three of their games and even thrashing their rivals, Manchester United. Alexander-Arnold, a key player in Liverpool's backline, has played a full 90 minutes in all three games, including his appearances for the England national team during the international break. However, he has been substituted in each of his Premier League matches, not lasting beyond the 77th minute.

There have been speculations about Alexander-Arnold's future at Liverpool, as he is in the final year of his contract and could potentially leave the club next summer. Scholes has observed signs of frustration from Slot, who was seen shaking his head during Liverpool's comfortable win over United at Old Trafford earlier this month. During his appearance on Stick to Football, Scholes questioned whether Slot truly likes Alexander-Arnold as a player.

In the eyes of Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, Slot may want to see less of Alexander-Arnold's long passes as he implements his own playing style. However, Carragher firmly believes that the right-back remains a crucial part of Slot's long-term plans for the club.

Alexander-Arnold's unhappiness was also noticed when he was substituted in the 2-0 win over Brentford in late August. However, Slot has denied any rumors of a rift between him and the player, stating that it was simply a matter of managing his game time after a busy summer. Slot also added that he has a strong backup in Conor, which allows him to take care of Alexander-Arnold's playing time and ensure his fitness for the entire season.

Despite his substitution in every game this season, Alexander-Arnold has been performing exceptionally well. His superb start to the season has not gone unnoticed, and Slot recognizes the importance of having him in the team. As for Alexander-Arnold, his main focus remains on contributing to Liverpool's success and continuing to improve under the guidance of his manager.
