Richard Hughes has his work cut out as the Liverpool sporting director looks to bring in quality to improve a squad that won the Premier League title this season.

Slot wants to carry out a major reshuffle of the squad, and the board are prepared to back him through a considerable transfer budget in the upcoming summer window.

Liverpool want to sign a versatile attacking midfielder for their squad, but it seems Manchester United are set to beat them to the signature of a top target.

Manchester United take the lead to sign a top attacking midfielder

Rayan Cherki is expected to be one of the hottest commodities in the summer as he only has a year left on his contract, and Lyon are prepared to sell him.

His performances this season have attracted the interest of Liverpool, who are keen to add his maverick talent to the team ahead of next season.

However, according to CaughtOffSide, Manchester United are one of the clubs who are leading the race to sign the attacking midfielder this summer.

The Red Devils got first-hand knowledge of Cherki’s talent in the Europa League quarter-finals and are keen to get their hands on him in the coming months.

Liverpool are still keen, but Manchester United and Tottenham are now the leading contenders to sign the French attacker in the summer transfer window.

What would irk the Reds even more is if they lose out on signing him is that Lyon are prepared to sell a player of his talent for as little as £30m.
