Liverpool are making \u2018serious moves\u2019 to land a star Manchester United midfield target in the January transfer window, according to reports.<\/p>\n
United spent over \u00a3200million on new talent in the summer window. The vast majority of that money went on improving the attack, with Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko signed.<\/p>\n
Two of the three started the loss against Manchester City at the weekend, while Cunha was injured after playing every game of the season prior to that.<\/p>\n
But after that loss, there have been questions on the midfield, which was overrun by City. United tried to land Carlos Baleba<\/strong><\/a> from Brighton to improve that area in the summer, but to no avail.<\/p>\n Now, their chances of landing the 21-year-old might have dipped, as insider Indy Kaila<\/a> reports Liverpool<\/strong><\/a> are \u2018making serious moves\u2019 for him for the January window, and the transfer is one to watch.<\/p>\n That threatens to derail United\u2019s potential signing of Baleba, with reports suggesting they remain interested in signing him.<\/p>\n Our friends at TEAMtalk have suggested there is a double midfield signing on the way at Old Trafford<\/strong><\/a> if United are able to make it.<\/p>\n They want to firstly sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest in January, before adding the \u2018dream signing\u2019 of Baleba next to him in the summer.<\/p>\n MORE ON LIVERPOOL FROM F365:<\/strong> But waiting until the summer to land Baleba could mean it\u2019s too late for them if Liverpool are in fact able to secure the signing of the Brighton man in January.<\/p>\n The Seagulls might be reluctant to lose their midfield star in January, and it could take a huge financial effort for that signing to be made.<\/p>\n In the summer, meanwhile, it has been suggested it might be more likely for Baleba\u2019s transfer to go through, given the interest Brighton are expecting from big clubs.<\/p>\n If that is the case, United will have more competition and potentially less chance of landing their dream target, but whether it is Liverpool who land him remains to be seen.<\/p>\n If it is, though, they\u2019ll have to splash another huge sum after a big summer spend which saw them pay more than \u00a3100million individually for two players.<\/p>\n
