The Argentina international is currently under contract with Liverpool until 2028, meaning any approach would require a significant transfer fee. A direct move between the two Premier League rivals would be rare, with very few high-profile transfers occurring between the clubs in modern history.

United are understood to be assessing multiple midfield targets, with Mac Allister among the names on their shortlist. Other options reportedly include emerging talents across the Premier League as the club reshapes its squad.

Mac Allister has experienced an inconsistent spell this season compared to his previous campaign, fuelling speculation over his long-term role at Liverpool. However, no formal offer has been confirmed, and any deal could depend on United’s European qualification status and available transfer budget.

The situation remains at an exploratory stage as the summer transfer window approaches, with developments expected in the coming months.
