OPINION
Liverpool released details of their new kit on Thursday and James Milner reacted to the official announcement by joking that he wasn’t called to take part in the new video.
The promo video shows a number of Liverpool stars including Sadio Mane, Mo Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jordan Henderson and even Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain modelling the new kit.
Milner sent a tweet out saying, “When you see your mates are out, but no-one gave you a call”.

Leeds fans love Milner after he came up through the youth ranks at Elland Road and are desperate to see the Premier League legend, who could be available for free in the summer, back at their club.
They jumped onto the tweet telling him not to worry as he’ll be modelling the Leeds strip next season.
Could Milner ever end up at Elland Road again? It’s unlikely unless he’s willing to take a big wage cut – he’s reportedly on £140k-a-week at Anfield in a deal that runs out in the summer.
He’s still been performing for Liverpool as well, but if Leeds get promoted and he fancies going back to where it all started for him? Who knows…
Here are the best reactions from Leeds fans:
Because you’re coming home James?? #lufc
