This summer transfer window was supposed to be very important for Manchester United. However, apart from signing Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, they failed to make statement signings.
Yes, the Red Devils are getting close to sealing a deal with RB Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko.
The Slovenian has already agreed personal terms with Manchester United, as Transfer News Live reported earlier.
If they can get the Sesko deal over the line, this will be the second time the Red Devils have beaten Newcastle United for a signing. They also did the same while signing Bryan Mebumo.
However, the Red Devils did lose a transfer battle. They were up against Newcastle and Liverpool. The player in contention was Hugo Ekitike, who chose Anfield over Old Trafford.
Now, Manchester United are set for another transfer battle with Liverpool. The Reds are having a fantastic summer transfer window.
They started the transfer window with flying colours. Liverpool signed Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, and Jeremie Frimpong at the start of the window.
Also, they signed Hugo Ekitike and are showing serious interest in Alexander Isak from Newcastle United.
Now, the Reds are also looking to bolster their midfield. That is why they are looking to sign a midfielder that Manchester United are already eyeing.
The Red Devils are not the only team apart from Liverpool eyeing the midfielder. Everton are also showing interest in the player.
According to CaughtOffside, Liverpool are now pressing ahead in their quest to sign Douglas Luiz from Juventus.
The former Aston Villa man had a great run in the Premier League. However, things did not go as planned for the Brazilian when he moved to Serie A.
However, the 27-year-old is now eyeing a move back to the Premier League. So, let’s see whether Liverpool put in a bid or Manchester United get one over their bitter rivals this time around.
