Manchester United is actively working on strengthening its midfield as the summer transfer window approaches.
With Casemiro likely leaving at the end of the season, the incoming permanent manager is expected to make changes to the midfield. This has led to increased speculation about potential signings.
United has shown interest in players like Elliot Anderson and Sandro Tonali.
The message from Old Trafford is clear: improving the central midfield is crucial.
This has drawn attention to the recent links to Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister.
United has been connected with the 27-year-old Argentine in the last week, even though he plays for their rivals Liverpool.
Since his move from Brighton and Hove Albion, Mac Allister has become an important player for Liverpool, contributing significantly to their recent Premier League achievements.
A transfer to Manchester would certainly be a controversial decision.
Mac Allister’s father has addressed these rumors directly.
In an interview with WinWin, Carlos Mac Allister downplayed the speculation, stating that his son is focused on Liverpool.
“Alexis is only thinking about Liverpool at the moment,” said Carlos Mac Allister.
“We are waiting for an offer to renew his contract. We will see what the club’s plans are.”
When asked about a potential move, including past links to Real Madrid, Carlos commented: “We’ll wait and see what happens with the renewal. That’s all.”
Mac Allister, 27, is under contract with Liverpool until 2028, so any transfer would require a substantial fee.
For now, his camp’s focus is on contract discussions rather than transfers.
With Manchester United set to be active in the midfield this summer, speculation will likely persist, but the link to Mac Allister seems to have cooled.
