Jurgen Klopp transfer plan could be scuppered by Man Utd takeover saga

The Manchester United takeover saga continues to drag on six months after the Glazer family announced the club was up for sale - and it could now have an effect on Liverpool's transfer plans.

Liverpool are looking to strengthen their midfield this summer after it was confirmed that James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain would all be leaving the club when their contracts expire. They were interested in a move for Jude Bellingham, but pulled out of the race to sign the Borussia Dortmund star due to the size of the rebuilding job on Jurgen Klopp's hands.

Bellingham would have cost upwards of £100m and Liverpool are instead looking to spend that money on signing multiple targets instead, with Brighton star Alexis Mac Allister among those heavily linked with a switch to Anfield.
