Simon Jordan insists Trent Alexander-Arnold's claim that trophies mean more to Liverpool than Manchester City is 'untrue'.

The Reds defender believes this is down to the different financial situations at each club, with both clubs enjoying huge success.

In an interview with FourFourTwo, Alexander-Arnold said: "Looking back on this era, although they've won more titles than us and have probably been more successful, our trophies will mean more to us and our fanbase because of the situations at both clubs financially."

Alexander-Arnold's comments were made as Liverpool and City prepare to meet at Anfield in a huge Premier League title race clash on Sunday.

City are second and chasing their fourth consecutive crown, whereas Liverpool first and haven't won the the title since 2020.

Such a claim has certainly added to the pre-match spark, and Jordan was not one to agree with such a sentiment.

"Well I think that's untrue," he said about Alexander-Arnold's claim.

"Well that's where he's on very fragile ground, that's where he's on infertile ground, he's not in the right space.

"He can't possibly suggest in any true sense of the word that the value of Manchester City to its fans is any less than the value of [Liverpool to its fans]."

Jim White then claimed Alexander-Arnold's comments strain into Jordan's narrative about City and how they may not be a 'classic club.'

However, Jordan responded by saying: "I may well think that they're a manufactured club, I may well think that Chelsea are too, there's no organic growth about them.

Jordan has hit back at Alexander-Arnold and says his claim is false
