Liverpool can't let Man United agree deal for top-scoring winger who dreams of Anfield move | OneFootball

Liverpool can't let Manchester United land a deal for a top-scoring winger. He's Liverpool through and through.

Manchester United are reportedly pursuing a deal for Anthony Gordon. That’s according to Teamtalk, who actually claim that they’re after Sandro Tonali as well.

Now, Newcastle United surely don’t sell both. That would gut their team and really end their chances of rebuilding properly after losing Alexander Isak last summer.

Still, Man United feel there’s some sort of chance here. Tonali was reportedly offered to Arsenal last month by intermediaries and while a deal was never anything like close, it does suggest that something is afoot here.

But it’s actually Gordon that we’d focus on. That would bet be truly shocking deal and quite honestly, it’s one that Liverpool simply can’t allow to happen.

Anthony Gordon to Liverpool is a must

The news that Man United want Gordon isn't a shock but it is a complication. The winger, after all, would be a dream signing for Liverpool's left flank.

He's a Scouser who grew up as a Liverpool fan, after all. Gordon was eager to complete a move to Anfield back in 2024, only for Newcastle to find a way to avoid any need to sell him.

Gordon subsequently struggled for form but it feels like he's found his feet once again. 10 goals in the UEFA Champions League is an extraordinary return - only Kylian Mbappe has more - and he's also the quickest winger in the competition this season.
