Man united Backed To complete shock summer transfer for World-class Liverpool superstar

Manchester United have been backed to break Liverpool hearts by completing an unthinkable raid for Trent Alexander-Arnold who could unleash his true potential at Old Trafford.

At Liverpool, it is inconceivable to consider selling one of Liverpool’s top players to their bitter rival.

It would be extremely difficult for Liverpool’s decision-makers to defend to their supporters the idea of selling one of their finest players, who is also a native.

Alexander-Arnold being signed to Manchester United would be similar to the 2005 transfer drama that saw Steven Gerrard narrowly miss joining Chelsea.

Reds supporters should be grateful that Gerrard shelved the move at the last minute and went on to establish himself as possibly Liverpool’s greatest player of all time. And Alexander-Arnold is destined to become a Liverpool legend.

The 25-year-old, a right-back, is Liverpool’s most inventive player and has won every trophy he’s competed for at Liverpool aside from the Europa League.

However, there are question marks hovering over the player’s long-term future at Anfield due to his contract status.

Alexander-Arnold is primed to enter the final year of his Liverpool deal that expires in the summer of 2025.

Varying reports have talked up a deal being in the works and Alexander-Arnold would be put among the club’s highest earners if agreeing terms.

But according to pundit and Man Utd treble winner, Dwight Yorke, Alexander-Arnold’s future could remarkably lay at Old Traffiord.

Yorke – who won the treble with United in 1999 – urged his former club to spare no expense if attempting to sign the Liverpool favourite.

The former striker also suggested the second half of Alexander-Arnold’s career may lay in midfield. The idea of pairing Alexander-Arnold with Kobbie Mainoo would certainly be an enticing one.

“I’m not sure Trent Alexander-Arnold would want to leave Liverpool as it’s his boyhood club, but Liverpool will be under transition now Jurgen Klopp has left,” began Yorke. “Maybe, Alexander-Arnold can evolve as a midfielder under Slot.

“This could be another opportunity where, if Liverpool don’t perform under Slot and Alexander-Arnold becomes unhappy, Man Utd should do everything they can to sign him.

“I was the first person to suggest that Man Utd should have signed Leroy Sane when he started to become frustrated at Man City when he was on the bench frequently, now he’s one of the best players in Germany.

“Alexander-Arnold may have a similar opportunity which Man Utd should pounce on.

“Obviously, there is history between the clubs and Alexander-Arnold will know that as an Englishman, but it can be an opportunity to look out for.”
