Elsewhere, ESPN claim that the Reds are now in pole position to snap the talented midfielder up in a move which is rumoured to be worth £40m.
The latest development in this rapidly evolving transfer saga comes from leading journalist Fabrizio Romano who claims that van de Beek wants to join United and is ‘ready’ to open talks.
