Americans are sure and the fact that in a few days Kenny Dalglish will sign a contract that makes him the general manager of the club with all the rights.

After having spent over 67 million euros in winter on Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez, they are about to invest 17 million in the extreme player from Villa, despite the fact that United is after him too.

Young is entering in the last year of contract with Villa and is attracted to a move that would bring a substantial increase in salary and he apparently wants to go to Liverpool instead United because it would have a place in the first team on the left lane attack, unlike United who have the Nani, Park Ji-Sung and Valencia,.

Besides the transfer of Ashley Young, Liverpool is interested in Blackpool’s captain, Charlie Adam, Gary Cahill from Bolton and Phil Jones from Blackburn.

Is it enough for Liverpool? Only time will tell.
