As Man U struggle to sign reinforcements, Klopp confirms Liverpool's first winter signing

Eighth after 20 games. Fourteen points off the top and out of the Champions League, where they exited through the back door as bottom of the group. From this position, Manchester United can see the great momentum of Liverpool, who lead the Premier League and are contenders in all the cups, including the Europa League, under Jurgen Klopp, who is demonstrating his management skills.

In such a small market niche, there are several alternatives being considered at Old Trafford, where they are prioritising the arrival of a nine-goaler. They need goals. As with the signing of Ighalo in 2020 and the aforementioned Weghorst last year, United are looking for a low-cost striker. On the list, two Bayern strikers. Both 34 years old. One is Choupo-Moting, who has lost minutes with the arrival of Kane in Bavaria. The other is Müller. The Red Devils have been keeping a close eye on him, even if the striker has recently renewed his contract with the Teutonic giants.

Werner, who joined RB Leipzig after a spell at Chelsea, is also a potential target, according to The Athletic. Guirassy, who has scored 17 times in 14 league appearances for Stuttgart, but his price tag is beyond United's budget as they look to tighten their belts. Crystal Palace's Olise is the option of the future. At 22, he has scored five times in seven Premier League starts after overcoming injury. His creativity, technique and pace could make all the difference to United's attack.

Owen Beck to join Liverpool

This Friday there was a press conference ahead of Sunday's FA Cup game between Liverpool and Arsenal. Klopp on Owen Beck: "The situation here is clear, we lose 2 of our left-backs so we think it makes sense if a boy we like is available for us, that we bring him back. With Nat Phillips, we have to see, he will definitely be with us until the end of the month and then have talks."
