Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold has admitted he is 'on the fence' regarding working under a manager that isn't Jurgen Klopp.
The Three Lions international was handed his first-team debut by the German back in 2016 and has since gone on to become one of the world's best in his position.
But with Klopp set to depart this summer, Anfield will soon welcome a new manager to the helm after nine long years of varied success alongside the former Dortmund boss.

Having now done so in an England shirt too, Klopp's respect for the academy graduate is something to cannot be understated either.
"We've always known he has the potential to do it," Klopp told Sky Sports earlier this year.
"But, to play a role, it's not about a player.
"It's about having the whole system in place. You have to set it up. We have to train."
