Manchester United may sell eight players, prompting Liverpool to hijack Tottenham’s trade talks

Liverpool is now preparing for another crucial Premier League title clash, when Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal visit Anfield on Saturday. Following a disheartening 0-0 stalemate with Manchester United the previous weekend, Jürgen Klopp’s team bounced back with a 5-1 win over West Ham United in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.

Curtis Jones, Cody Gakpo, and Dominik Szoboszlai will all feel a lot better about themselves heading into the Arsenal encounter this weekend, after all three scored. The Gunners are presently top of the Premier League table heading into the Anfield encounter, with only one point separating them and Liverpool in second.

That was exactly what Liverpool needed ahead of a potentially decisive title match. Getting back into the goalscoring groove was ideal, even although Arsenal will pose far more of a threat than a bad West Ham squad.

Prior to the start of the blockbuster game, Liverpool.com scans the other big sides in the Premier League and throughout Europe to see what’s going on at the other clubs. We’ll start with Manchester United.

Eight Manchester United players face unclear futures

Manchester United has already agreed to let Donny van de Beek leave in the January transfer window, with many more first-team players also facing uncertain futures. It might be another turbulent period at Old Trafford

Financial fair play (FFP) limitations limit their spending because there is no European football. Meanwhile, with an approaching minority buyout from Oldham-born millionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, additional outgoings are predicted in the coming weeks.

According to the MEN, up to eight first-team players may leave Old Trafford in the coming months. Raphael Varane, Aaron Wan Bissaka, Casemiro, and Jadon Sancho have all been connected with exits from the club.

Tottenham Hotspur have held conversations with OGC Nice over the signing of Liverpool target Jean-Clair Todibo, according to Football.London. The 23-year-old is one of many players connected with Liverpool in recent weeks, as we approach the January transfer window, which might be crucial for Jürgen Klopp’s side’s title ambitions.

Following Jol Matip’s season-ending ACL injury, the Reds are likely in need of defensive reinforcements, especially given the number of games they will play in the second half of the season after progressing in both the Carabao Cup and the Europa League.

Liverpool and Premier League rivals Manchester United have previously been linked with a bid for the midfielder, with French source L’Equipe reporting that both clubs are keen. However, if they are to sign Todibo, any potential suitor will need to move quickly in the New Year to beat out a growing list of suitors.
