Manchester United have been reduced to shopping in the loan market this January as the Glazers look to sell the club.
The move looks to have cost them a deal for Liverpool bound Cody Gakpo who is moving to Anfield from PSV Eindhoven in a £44million deal as United were left floundering.
The Reds agreed a deal with the Dutch club after holding talks on Monday night to head off competition from Manchester United.
United had instigated talks but were still to finalise a financial offer and Liverpool have taken advantage, with PSV confirming that a deal had been reached between the two clubs.
