Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister could leave Liverpool and move to one of their biggest rivals, Manchester United, in what would be one of the most controversial transfers of recent years in the English Premier League. According to British media outlet Daily Mirror, Manchester United aims to strengthen its midfield and would make a 'surprising offer' for Mac Allister, who at 27 is a key player for Liverpool. The goal of the 'Red Devils' management would be to sign him mid-year, after the World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico between June and July. The transfer will not be easy at all, as Mac Allister's buyout clause is 85 million euros, so Manchester United could include one of its players in the offer. Furthermore, this would be a totally bombshell transfer that could generate a lot of anger among the fans of his current team due to the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United. The last time such an operation occurred was in 1964, with Phil Chisnall. Mac Allister arrived at Liverpool in mid-2023, coming from Brighton, and since his arrival, he has been key for the team to win the Carabao Cup 2024 and the Premier League 2025. Liverpool is going through a very poor season, where it is sixth in the Premier League with only 42 points and its qualification for the next Champions League is seriously at risk. Manchester United, for its part, has been in a sporting crisis for over a decade and is dragging a drought of almost 13 years without winning its country's league.
