The 21-year-old could be the ideal fit for them. He has the potential to develop into a top-class player, and moving to Manchester United could unlock his true potential. He would get to play alongside quality players at Old Trafford, and they could groom him into a superstar.
Even though the asking price might seem quite expensive, the young midfielder has the potential to justify the investment in future. In addition to that, the transfer market is quite inflated for elite talents like him, and it is no surprise that Manchester United are being quoted a club record fee.
Meanwhile, Liverpool would be an exciting destination for the player as well. The opportunity to join the Premier League champions and fight for major trophies regularly will be quite tempting. It remains to be seen where he ends up.
