“This Is the LAST Thing We Needed!” – Man United Shock Liverpool with Late Move to Hijack £70M Transfer Target
BREAKING: The transfer battle between Manchester United and Liverpool has erupted into full-blown warfare. In a bold and unexpected move, United have officially contacted the representatives of Liverpool’s top transfer target — just as the Merseyside club appeared to be nearing a deal.
The unnamed forward, valued at over £70 million, has been at the heart of Liverpool’s summer rebuild under new manager Arne Slot. Many at Anfield believed a deal was close — until United launched what insiders are calling a “strategic ambush.”
According to sources, Manchester United made direct contact with the player’s camp just days after Liverpool reached an advanced stage of negotiations. The timing — and intent — have left those inside Liverpool furious.
“This is the last thing we needed right now,” a Liverpool source reportedly said. “After all the progress we’ve made, it’s outrageous they’d try to swoop in now.”
For United, this move goes beyond just signing a top player. It’s about reasserting dominance in the transfer market and disrupting a rival’s momentum. Erik ten Hag has reportedly pushed hard for the deal as part of a major attacking overhaul at Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, fans from both clubs are going into overdrive. Liverpool supporters are slamming United for sabotaging their top target, while United fans are hailing the move as a show of strength and ambition.
Though the player’s identity remains undisclosed due to ongoing talks, what’s clear is that both clubs view him as a game-changing attacker — someone who could define their forward lines for years.
Now, the focus shifts to the player’s decision: will he side with Liverpool’s long-standing pursuit, or be tempted by United’s late, aggressive pitch?
This saga is far from over — and what happens next could shape the future of both clubs for seasons to come
