Manchester United have been advised not to sign Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister ‘in a million years’.

The Red Devils were linked with a shock move for Mac Allister last week as they prepare for this summer’s transfer window.

United are expected to sign at least one midfielder this summer after targeting a player in that position on the pitch last summer.

The Old Trafford squad are already preparing for the departure of Casemiro, who announced last month that he would be leaving the club at the end of the season.

Manchester United are admirers of Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson, Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton and Brighton’s Carlos Baleba.

It was reported last week that the Red Devils were also interested in Mac Allister, who has been linked with a move away from Anfield ahead of the summer transfer window.

Mac Allister has made over 100 appearances for Liverpool since his £55m move from Brighton in 2023, helping the Reds win the Premier League and EFL Cup.
