Liverpool midfielder joins Man United, he's gone

Liverpool midfielder joins Man United, he's gone Liverpool and Manchester United were linked with a lot of the same players in the summer transfer window. Both teams could've done a lot better than they did last season and, while the Red Devils managed to finish higher than Liverpool in the Premier League, the fact that they only had England's top flight to focus on will have certainly helped them out. This term, both clubs are in the same competitions and, at the moment, Liverpool are the ones coming out on top with Andoni Iraola's men in sixth while Michael Carrick's are 11th in the table. United and Liverpool both spent a hefty chunk of change in the summer with both of their problem areas more or less the same. So, the fact that the arch-rivals were linked with the same player is hardly surprising. However, even with the transfer window shut, it hasn't stopped a deal being made between the two clubs. Manchester United have signed Isaac Konde from Liverpool The midfields of Liverpool and Man United were one of their main problem areas last season. Neither club really had players with enough legs to run for the entire 90 minutes and, although there were exceptions such as Dominik Szoboszlai and Bruno Fernandes, they couldn't single-handedly carry their teams. So, the fact that Man United strengthened their midfield in the summer made sense. And, even though Liverpool didn't manage to bring anyone in for the centre of the park, players such as Alexis Mac Allister seem to be getting back to their best . But, even with the transfer window shut, the deals haven't stopped with Fabrizio Romano now sharing that a Liverpool midfielder has joined the Red Devils. "Manchester United have completed deal to sign 16-year-old midfielder Isaac Konde from Liverpool, here we go," he wrote via X. "All set for Manchester United FC move as formal steps have been completed in the last 24 hours." Liverpool losing Isaac Konde is a big blow for them One of the main problems that most teams are facing at the moment is the lack of midfield talent that they have among their ranks. Of course, there are some exceptions such as Manchester City but, since they basically have a blank cheque book every window, it's not surprising to see their midfield be one of the best in the world. So, any midfield prospects such as Trey Nyoni or even Elliott Anderson need to be treasured. But, with the merry-go round of Northern academies that has been going on over the last few months, it's hardly a surprise to see Konde leave. Last term he played six games for the Reds Under-18s and even managed to earn himself an assists. Obviously, at 16 years old, there's still a lot of time for him to grow as a player so, Man United prising the youngster away from Liverpool is certainly a massive blow. Here's hoping that Liverpool don't end up regretting not putting more of a fight up to keep him in L4.
