Steve McManaman has warned that signing a new midfielder this summer could hinder the development of the club’s young talents.
Liverpool ’s slow start to the new season, coupled with multiple injuries in the middle of the park, has led to widespread calls for those in charge at Anfield to invest ahead of schedule. Reds manager Jurgen Klopp even admitted last week that earlier claims they don’t need additions were incorrect.
But what the club do have is a host of outstanding young talent in midfield, including the likes of Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho - as well as Stefan Bacjetic, who became the youngest non-English player to play for the club on Saturday at 17 years and 309 days old.
