That’s because Trent offers more than Saka in terms of quality in the final third.
Interesting point by Tuchel, who says Alexander-Arnold is “not someone… who does overlaps, underlaps,” and notes how Saka gets a lot more movement at his club from the CB/FB hybrids, White and Timber…

Anything on Bruno Fernandes kicking Foden on the floor?
🚨 OFFICIAL: Pro Ref confirm “an error of judgement” in Haaland’s goal — also informing Man United directly.
“Following the incident in the 60th minute of Sunday's Premier League fixture between Manchester United and Manchester City at Old Trafford, we can provide clarification regarding Erling Haaland’s awarded goal.
“The on-field decision was offside against Erling Haaland – that was checked by VAR and he was found to be in an onside position.
“In the same attack, it was established that Enzo Fernandez did not play the ball and therefore that makes any offside offence subjective, however, on this occasion, the VAR did not recognise the likely impact of his position and should have recommended an on-field review.
“Contact has been made with Manchester United this evening to acknowledge what we deem is an error of judgement. A review of the incident will take place.”
What happens when you spend 2 billion £ to win the league but your highest ever sale is £40m
Exclusive: Arsenal Football Club, the Premier League champions, are working with the consulting firm BCG on a review which could lead to cost cuts less than three months after the Gunners won their first league title in more than 20 years. Full story on @SkyNews shortly.
VAR is a joke.
It’s a clear handball then shoots and it goes in.
The ref has given United this game.
Bournemouth my tip for relegation battle
Bournemouth just continue to be one of the smartest run clubs in terms of their recruitment.
This summer has just further cemented it with every single move they’ve done.
They lose Iraola, before the season even ends Marco Rose, a guy who has the same principles are in the door.
Lose Marco Senesi on a free to spurs, just to take advantage of a contract situation and get Antonio Silva, one of the bigger talents from Portugal for a bargain price.
Alex Jimenez left for… reasons, so you go and bring in Juanlu from Sevilla, whose underlying metrics are really good for just 12 million.
With European football you needed depth, especially offensively, so you get Alvaro Rodriguez from Elche, who is again a data darling.
All of that done while keeping most of the core players at the club (i know Alex Scott may leave).
Just a club run at such a high level #afcb
The Super League was rejected so they’ve just found another way to do it quietly.
🚨 Crystal Palace are grappling with UEFA's squad cost ratio (SCR) rules as they look to strengthen Pierre Sage's squad this summer.
The club have explored a move for Lens centre-back Ismaelo Ganiou, but believe the overall financial package required to complete the deal would exceed what they can currently commit to.
