Alexis Mac Allister’s father responds to Man United transfer link
When the Mirror reported that Man United are “weighing up a shock raid” for Mac Allister, it is fair to say we were sceptical given no player has moved directly between the clubs for 61 years.
Mac Allister’s father, Carlos, has now responded, telling WinWin: “Alexis is thinking about Liverpool at the moment.
“We are waiting for an offer to renew his contract. We will see what the club’s plan is.”

Reporter Fabrizio Romano also watered down the rumours of a Man United move, saying on YouTube that “as things stand, there is nothing advanced or concrete with Mac Allister.”
With the 27-year-old’s contract expiring in 2028, his father and agent was asked if he would consider moving anywhere outside of Spain if he leaves in two years.
Mac Allister Sr said: “We’ll wait and see what happens with the renewal. That’s all.”

It has been five years since Liverpool had the defensive injury crisis to end all injury crises, triggering to them to sign Ozan Kabak for £1 million. Henry Jackson looks back at the Turk’s brief but eventful time at Anfield:
“There were high hopes for the then 20-year-old Kabak, with the Turk a highly-rated young defender who was recommended to Klopp by his good friend David Wagner.
“Things didn’t pan out the way he would have hoped, however, with one horrible mix-up with Alisson at Leicester playing a role in a 3-1 defeat on his debut.
“He lost his next game, too, at home to Everton, before missing the final five matches of the season through injury.”
