Liverpool can instantly lose Mohamed Salah heir if Man Utd recruit Kop legend as manager

Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah has been tipped to move to Saudi Arabia at the end of the campaign

If current Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso ends up taking over at Manchester United, Liverpool could lose their heir apparent, Florian Wirtz, to the player. Richard Keys has pushed the Red Devils to remove Erik ten Hag and name former Liverpool player Alonso as their new manager.

“I think Manchester United should go to Leverkusen right now and tell Xabi Alonso, ‘We want you to come to Old Trafford,'” Keys said to beIN SPORTS. We guarantee five years and will offer you Saudi League money. It was Fergie’s (Sir Alex Ferguson) initial possession upon joining Manchester United.

“I think Manchester United should go to Leverkusen right now and tell Xabi Alonso, ‘We want you to come to Old Trafford,'” Keys are reportedly IN SPORTS. We’ll give you money from the Saudi League and a five-year guarantee. It was the first possession Fergie (Sir Alex Ferguson) had after joining Manchester United.

Wirtz, who is still only 20 years old, has already made 122 appearances for Leverkusen since breaking into the team, despite spending 10 months on the sideline with an anterior cruciate ligament injury he sustained in the early stages of last year. And he has bagged 29 goals and 40 assists in those matches

Despite missing 10 months of action due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury he suffered early in the season, 20-year-old Wirtz has already made 122 appearances for Leverkusen since making his debut. And in those games, he has scored 29 goals and provided 40 assists.

Given his ability to score goals, dish out assists, and make significant contributions to games at crucial junctures, Wirtz seems to be Salah’s natural successor. But if the Spaniard decides to play in the Premier League, he can choose to stay in his comfort zone and follow his reliable tutor Alonso. And Liverpool may see their ideal addition moving to Old Trafford rather than Anfield if United is the team that ends up acquiring Alonso as their next manager.
