Liverpool hijack leaves Manchester United shocked in £80m twist

Liverpool have been crowned Premier League champions, and are keen to use that clout to beat their rivals to the signature of a few top talents. It seems the Reds are set to win the race over Manchester United for the signature of an in-demand Premier League star.

Arne Slot is pushing the club to ensure that he has a better squad at his disposal next season when he wants to compete for all the major trophies, with the Reds prepared to spend big.

The Liverpool manager wants to sign a top-class midfielder to ensure that he has more options to rotate, and the club are tracking several top young talents ahead of the summer.

Manchester United are threatening to hijack a deal to sign a Premier League midfielder, but Liverpool are the favourites to secure his signing in the summer.

Can you name the team Liverpool signed these players from?

Manchester United are no match for the Reds in the chase for a midfielder

Adam Wharton has emerged as a top target for Liverpool, who are pushing to snare him away from Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window.

Manchester United have also joined the race, and are in talks with his representatives over doing a deal to take him to Old Trafford in the coming months.

They are also prepared to spend big money, but according to TEAMTalk, Liverpool hold all the cards in the race to sign Wharton this summer.

The Merseyside giants would be his preferred choice if Liverpool made an offer to sign him from Crystal Palace in the upcoming transfer window.

Manchester United remain interested in signing him, but they are trailing Liverpool in the race for Wharton.

Crystal Palace are aware that they are unlikely to hold on to the young England midfielder if two of the biggest Premier League clubs want him.

However, they are prepared to dig their heels in and demand somewhere around £80m before selling him.
