The Liverpool star was mightily impressive for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
It seems like even Jose Mourinho was impressed by Liverpool’s Andy Robertson on Sunday.
Liverpool thumped Mourinho’s Manchester United side 3-1 to move top of the Premier League once more.
The Portuguese manager made a number of tactical errors but one of these arguably came in the form of putting 19-year-old Diogo Dalot up against Reds’ left-back Robertson.
The Scotland international had Dalot on toast, before Mourinho hooked the youngster at half time.
Sadio Mane and Xherdan Shaqiri scored the goals for Liverpool, but the legendary manager suggests it was the Scot who took his breath away with relentless running.
He told The Irish Times: “I am still tired just looking at Robertson. He makes 100-metre sprints every minute, absolutely incredible, and these are qualities.”
Shaqiri scored twice to earn the points for Liverpool.
Much has been made over the fact he cost only £13 million. If that’s a bargain, what’s the best word to describe Robertson’s £8 million transfer from Hull 18 months ago?
He was £5 million cheaper than his Swiss counterpart and has been a massive part of Jurgen Klopp’s side since arriving on Merseyside.
Robertson has five assists in 20 game for the Reds across all competitions this season.
