Unthinkable transfer, priority solved - Five players Man United should target from u21 Euros

With no major senior international tournament to keep fans occupied in the absence of Premier League football, the under-21 European Championships perhaps caught the imagination even more than the money-spinning Club World Cup.

Lee Carsley guided England to a second successive European championship win at under-21 level as the Young Lions beat Germany in Saturday's final in Bratislava.

Goals from Liverpool winger Harvey Elliott and Ipswich Town star Omari Hutchinson put England into a 2-0 lead but they were pegged back thanks to strikes from Nelson Weiper and Paul Nebel.

With the match finishing level after 90 minutes, Marseille forward Jonathan Rowe scored the decisive goal in extra time as England ran out 3-2 winners.

A number of players caught the eye in the competition and, as Manchester United look to strengthen their squad this summer, we have taken a look at five players they should be monitoring in the transfer market.

To cross the divide from Liverpool to United is almost unthinkable but it is perhaps a deal that would suit all parties.

Elliott scored five goals in the competition and was named the tournament MVP. However, game time has been limited at Liverpool and he has hinted he could look for a new challenge this summer.

The 22-year-old would thrive in an attacking midfield role in Ruben Amorim's 3-4-2-1 formation and it is a position United need to strengthen.

The rivalry between the two clubs make any move difficult but if the opportunity arises, United would be fools not to consider it.
