                                            A third, disappointed at those spouting abuse in the comments, posted: 'As an honest Liverpool fan, I have to say we have the worst fanbase on earth.
'Trent is arguably our biggest club legend, someone who gave everything for the club and took us from our banter era to now when all of us glory hunters became fans, and this is how we repay him?'
Alexander-Arnold is set to return to Anfield for Real Madrid's Champions League clash with the Reds on November 4.
From the reaction to Liverpool's happy birthday post, a huge number of fans are still extremely angry or disappointed at Alexander-Arnold for the manner in which he left, and the right-back is likely to be the target of boos from home supporters if he features during the match.
Steve McManaman, who also made the switch from Liverpool to Real Madrid during his career, shared his thoughts on Alexander-Arnold's imminent return to Anfield last month.
'Trent going back [to Anfield]; it was always going to happen,' McManaman told Daily Mail Sport in September, speaking on behalf of bet365. 'I just don’t think people thought it would happen so soon.
'It’s going to be emotional for him, hard for him, because in the end, the crowd will give him a good reception. But they will also want Liverpool to win.
‘I think the most important thing for Liverpool is that the game is at home, the night at Anfield. They seem to have played Real Madrid many times over recent years, so that won’t be any different.'
