Phil Bardsley Urges Mourinho to Use Trent Alexander-Arnold in Beckham-Like Midfield Role

Former Manchester United defender Phil Bardsley believes José Mourinho should move Trent Alexander-Arnold into right midfield at Real Madrid. Bardsley said Alexander-Arnold’s passing range and crossing ability could be used in a role similar to David Beckham’s during his time at the Bernabéu. He argued that playing further forward could reduce the defensive concerns that have followed the England international. According to Bardsley, Alexander-Arnold could supply runners such as Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior while having more time on the ball. The proposed change could help him recover from an inconsistent first season in Spain.
