We approached him first, but Manchester United went behind our backs to agree personal terms with him. There’s no way I will sit and watch this transfer happen today.”
Those were the angry words of Arne Slot, as reports emerged that Manchester United have agreed personal terms with Liverpool’s top transfer target, sparking serious tension between the two Premier League giants.

Sources close to the situation say Liverpool believed they were in pole position, only for United to step in late and hijack the deal with a decisive move that caught Anfield officials off guard.
Slot is said to be furious behind the scenes, viewing the move as a direct blow to Liverpool’s summer plans and a major disruption to his project. The Dutch coach reportedly feels the player was central to his vision, making United’s intervention all the more painful.
With personal terms now agreed, Manchester United are pushing to finalize the transfer as quickly as possible, while Liverpool assess whether they can still respond or are forced to move on to alternative targets.
