Manchester United transfer news RECAP takeover updates and Anthony Martial 'interest'

Manchester United resume their encouraging Premier League charge on Sunday afternoon as they prepare to take on bitter rivals Liverpool at Anfield (4.30pm).

Confidence remains sky-high in the United camp, though, after two hugely important victories over Barcelona and Newcastle with the latter clinching a first trophy for six seasons. United followed up those stunning results by progressing in the FA Cup midweek.

Erik ten Hag confirmed during his pre-match press conference for the Liverpool match that Luke Shaw (injury) and Jadon Sancho (illness) will be available. Both men missed the 3-1 victory over West Ham.

With one eye on the summer window, meanwhile, United will target at least two major signings with Ten Hag wanting another central midfielder and long-term striker. Cristiano Ronaldo was allowed to depart mid-season, as United brought in Wout Weghorst on loan as a stop-gap replacement for him.
