TNT Sports pundit and former Liverpool star Steve McManaman has provided encouraging news regarding the contract situations of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mo Salah, and Virgil van Dijk.

He then sealed the victory in the 75th minute with a stunning goal, cutting onto his left foot and curling the ball into the top corner.
