Manchester United 's reluctance to sign Florian Wirtz during Ralf Rangnick's tenure at the club may now come back to bite them with Liverpool given a reported 'guarantee' over potential talks. Wirtz, then 18 years of age, had stepped up as Kai Havert's replacement and was impressing for Bayer Leverkusen. According to the Star on Sunday, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Chelsea are 'at the front of the queue to sign the attacker'. But the report adds that Liverpool have now joined the race to sign Wirtz and Jurgen Klopp's influence may help their chances. It's claimed that Liverpool are 'guaranteed' to be 'genuine contenders' due to Klopp's contacts in German football.
