Jurgen Klopp claims Trent Alexander-Arnold carries an added burden playing for Liverpool.
If included for Sunday’s visit of Tottenham, Alexander-Arnold will record his 99th appearance for the Reds over three years since making his senior debut.
The England international has already played more games for the European champions at 21 than Steven Gerrard or Jamie Carragher at the same age.
And Klopp believes that Alexander-Arnold comfortably handles the extra responsibility of being a homegrown player in the current Liverpool side.
He said: “Trent has a mix of personal education, football education, character, skills, attitude, mentality, and he is on top of all that.
“He is absolutely a Scouser in the best understanding. It’s a big task and a big job to be a Scouser as a Liverpool player because you are responsible for pretty much everything. So he has all the good things.
“On the outside, when you are a Scouser in the Liverpool team it makes the game away at Manchester United even more difficult.
“Because everyone is talking to you the whole week about that and we will see the same again next year away.
“Apart from that he is so impressive. When I first saw him, I saw that this is something special but he had to work hard to make that really obvious.
“It’s really a pleasure to work with him to be honest. He is very aggressive in a positive way.”
