Manchester United Threaten to STEAL Liverpool's Mo Salah Successor

Liverpool’s Dario Osorio Bid in Jeopardy as Man United Plot January Hijack

Manchester United are preparing a stunning move to hijack Liverpool’s plans for Dario Osorio, a Chilean winger widely regarded as a future star. The Reds have reportedly set their sights on Osorio as a potential successor to Mohamed Salah, whose contract situation has raised uncertainty about his long-term future at Anfield. However, United are now positioning themselves to swoop in and snatch the 19-year-old from under their rivals’ noses.

According to reports from Pasion Futbol, Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag has identified Osorio as the ideal candidate for the right-wing role, a position that has lacked consistency in recent seasons. “Ten Hag has apparently asked for the player personally—he’s the next pick for their right-wing role,” the outlet claims. United have struggled to find a permanent solution on the right, with Antony and other players failing to lock down the position.

The Red Devils are expected to make a formal move for the FC Midtjylland winger in January, with Ten Hag keen to add fresh attacking options. This development puts Liverpool, who reportedly submitted a bid for Osorio over the summer, in a precarious position. While Midtjylland rejected Liverpool’s initial offer, believing they could fetch a higher price, the bidding war is now expected to intensify with Real Madrid also reportedly monitoring the situation.

Despite this fierce competition, Liverpool may have an advantage, as they have already made their intentions clear by laying the groundwork for Osorio’s signature. However, there remains a potential stumbling block: Mohamed Salah. “The problem is that Mo Salah remains at the club, and we’re not sure the Reds could guarantee Osorio proper playing time with the Egyptian in place,” Danish outlet Tipsbladet reported.

Salah’s current contract is nearing its end, and if he doesn’t extend his stay at Anfield, the right flank will be vacant for the first time in nearly a decade. Osorio, who has been dubbed a rising star in European football, might see this as his golden opportunity to fill the shoes of one of Liverpool’s greatest ever players. The question remains: can Liverpool hold off the likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid to secure Osorio’s signature?
