Manchester United are plotting a surprise raid on Liverpool star Alexis Mac Allister, as per the latest reports from The Mirror.

In what would be one of the most controversial transfers in Premier League history, Old Trafford bosses have reportedly added the World Cup winner to their summer shortlist as they look to overhaul a midfield set to lose veteran Casemiro.

Speculation regarding Mac Allister’s future has intensified following a season where his form has fluctuated under Arne Slot.

Despite being a key figure in Liverpool’s title-winning 2024/25 campaign, rumors suggest the Argentine superstar could be open to a new challenge.

While United’s interest has sent shockwaves through the North West, they aren’t the only giants circling.

Real Madrid have been widely linked with the 27-year-old for months, with reports in Spain suggesting Los Blancos view him as a potential long-term successor in their midfield.

Mac Allister himself has previously hinted at a desire to play in La Liga before the end of his career, which may give the Spanish champions a significant edge over any Premier League suitor.
