Liverpool are keen on Two of the international stars who Manchester United intend to bring to Old Trafford either in January or in the summer.
According to latest Premier League transfer rumours, Manchester United are targeting three players with international experience although Liverpool are also keen on two of them. First up, United are said to be in the process of raising funds to land their chief target Kalidou Koulibaly. The Sportsman report that Marcos Rojo and Marouane Fellaini could both be allowed to leave in order to free up wages and transfer funds to land the Napoli centre-half.
Koulibaly is becoming increasingly recognised as one of the world’s leading centre-halves. The 27-year-old could even be open to a move, having admitted that he is considering his future after suffering racial abuse in Italy.

Another potential arrival at Old Trafford is PSV winger Steven Bergwijn. Having netted nine goals in 16 Eredivisie appearances this season, the 21-year-old is hot property. Reports in England claim that United are set for a final scouting mission ahead of a potential £25m bid this month. Liverpool are also said to have run the rule over the two-cap Holland player earlier this term but United are seemingly preparing to beat their rivals to his signature.
Speaking of Liverpool, the Reds are also rivalling United for the signing of a Brazil defender, according to the Daily Star. Porto’s Eder Militao is said to have a £38.2million release clause and the right-back has been impressing since arriving in Europe from Sao Paolo during the summer.
Real Madrid are keen to beat Manchester United to Porto defender Eder Militao, according to reports in Spain. The 21-year-old won't be allowed to leave for anything less £66m this month. Read more here… #MUFC https://t.co/EFnszEzTpm pic.twitter.com/9z4D6swYqS

The report claims United are in pole position for his signature, ahead of Liverpool and Everton while all three have been given a boost after UOL Esporte said the player favours a move to England despite interest from Real Madrid.
Author’s take:
Since United are determined to take these players to Old Trafford. It is not easy yet as these three world-class international is chasing by many Premier League rival clubs. And it would be really difficult to propose a deal for them because these players would make a transfer move at a huge amount.
