Former Manchester United captain Rio Ferdinand has praised Bradley's emergence and likened it to that of Kobbie Mainoo at Old Trafford.

The midfielder only made his first Premier League start in November but is already in the England squad and likely to be involved at Euro 2024 this summer.

Speaking to Cool FM News, Ferdinand said: "Bradley is a modern-day full-back, up and down, really comfortable in attacking areas.

"You have got to remember, an added layer for him is he’s come in and he’s replacing one of the best full-backs in the world in Trent [Alexander-Arnold].

That brings a huge amount of pressure that he seems to have dealt with really, really well."

Alexander-Arnold has not played since coming off against Burnley last month but is not expected to be too far away, with the clash against United at Old Trafford on April 7 penciled in for his return.

Liverpool.com says: Bradley and Mainoo have been among the very best young players in the Premier League this season.

Nobody really saw their emergence coming but neither has looked out of place at any stage.

Liverpool is a better team with Trent Alexander-Arnold in it, but Bradley has given Klopp plenty of food for thought.
