Liverpool ‘tempted’ by £75m Man Utd target with ‘under-pressure’ Mo Salah for the chop

 Liverpool have reportedly joined Manchester United in the race for one of the Premier League’s in-form forwards, with ‘pressure mounting’ on struggling superstar Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool have endured a rocky start to their Premier League title defence, losing their last three matches to Manchester United, Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

They had won five out of five to begin the campaign but were criticised for their defensive disorganisation — and for relying on late goals to get over the line.

Arne Slot’s side have looked shaky at the back all season, with Ibrahima Konate, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong among those in the firing line.

Having spent over £400million in the summer transfer window after winning the league, Liverpool now have a target on their back, and their new players are being heavily scrutinised.

Kerkez and Frimpong cost a combined £75m and are yet to convince, while £100m+ signings Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak look well off the pace required — with the former even dropped to the bench in recent weeks.
