'Don't want to say it' - Manchester United told Liverpool player they should have signed

Former Manchester United midfielder Quinton Fortune has praised Liverpool’s transfer business and insisted Luis Diaz is someone he wanted at Old Trafford.

Fortune made 127 appearances for United from 1999-2006 and was heavily critical of his former club’s spending. He believed Liverpool’s astuteness in the transfer market has only further exposed United’s recruitment problems over recent years.

Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, United have spent £1.21billion on transfers compared to Liverpool’s £855.06m. However the Red Devils only have four trophies to show for it - one EFL Cup, an FA Cup, a Community Shield and a Europa League title.
