Manchester United’s last-ditch hopes of signing Jordan Henderson look to have faltered with the Sunderland midfielder intent on joining Liverpool.
Sunderland manager Steve Bruce is eager to bring in United’s Darron Gibson, Danny Welbeck and Wes Brown but will now have to offer cash.
England Under 21 star Henderson wants his Liverpool move wrapped up by Wednesday and the Anfield club have made an improved £18million bid.
Ipswich’s Connor Wickham could also be on his way to Liverpool once they increase their offer to £10m.
United, meanwhile, remain in the race for Udinese winger Alexis Sanchez.
Although the Italians want £30m, Barcelona have offered £26m and Juventus and Inter Milan have offered closer to £20m but with players in exchange.
Samir Nasri has refused to rule himself out of a transfer to United.
The 23-year-old, who has yet to sign a new deal at Arsenal, said: ‘Do I want to go to United? First, we should see if it’s real and concrete.’
