Manchester United have been advise to strengthen their backline with the addition of Liverpool top target Marc Guehi.
The Red Devils have started the season in a bad form and their recent loss to Manchester City prove they still have a long way to go. Marc Guehi has now been identified as a player who will help stabilize the backline.
Guehi was set to move to Liverpool on deadline day but, at the eleventh hour, the move collapsed, leaving the centre-back to spend at least the first half of the season at Selhurst Park.
With Liverpool likely to put in another bid in January, United who have been linked with a move for Guehi previously, in 2024, have been advised to win the race ahead of their rival.

Brown told OLBG: “I don’t see why not. I’m not sure if he’s got a preferred team out of them. Who he would support, whether it’s Liverpool or United in that sense.
“He would cost a lot of money though, but it would be brilliant to see him in a Man United shirt. Like I said, I think he’s done everything he’s needed to do to prove to get to that top level.
“Now he will probably himself individually, be looking at can he win stuff, can he be battling in Champions League, can he be battling for leagues, FA Cups.
“I think that’s one thing, going ahead in his career now he’ll be looking to be able to do.”
Guehi has not let the failed move to Liverpool affect his Crystal Palace career. The defender appears firmly focused on playing at the highest level ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
