Dominic Solanke spent a season and a half at Anfield before moving to Bournemouth for £19million five years ago. He scored in last weekend’s historic 3-0 win at Old Trafford and has been playing for the Cherries ever since. It was his ninth goal of the season and 65th for his current club (Transfermarkt) and TNT Sports pundits believe the 27-year-old is now ready to prove himself at a club like the Red Devils.
Hargreaves told Premier League Productions “I would love to take him to Manchester United for a day. At Chelsea he won the Academy Award for Youth. He went to Liverpool with the same front of three generations, three trebles.“He didn’t intend to go in there, but I think he was able to learn and train from [Bobby] Firmino, [Sadio] Mane and [Mo] Salah. We saw that when Wilfred [Zaha] went to Manchester United. He wasn’t ready yet. He was too young.”I think Solanke will now take another big step. Manchester United or not, having a big, technically sound and intelligent child gives you channel control and media access. “I’m sure he’ll get another chance.
Hargreaves points out, Solanke arrived at Liverpool in the same summer as Salah and proved to be the final piece of the iconic striker’s puzzle alongside Firmino and Mane. He arrived at Anfield after winning the Ballon d’Or at the Under-20 World Cup in England in 2017, but found it impossible to feature regularly for Jurgen Klopp’s side and ended his time at United with just one goal in 27 of games. (Transfer market)
But he will certainly learn a lot working closely with the world-class trio and the experience he has gained at Bournemouth this season could see him make another big move. Stay with United or stay elsewhere. If Hargreaves gets his wish, Solanke will become the first Liverpool player to move to Old Trafford since Michael Owen. The draw, who won the FA Cup in 2001, burned bridges with many on Merseyside after his move to Manchester, but the current Cherries striker should not be overlooked as he failed to prove himself at Anfield in the same way. To follow him. But even without a direct move between the two clubs, you’d be hard-pressed to find a Reds fan who wouldn’t mind the former LFC player joining their rivals.
Owen Hargreaves has named the former Liverpool player he would like to see at Manchester United after their recent victory over the Red Devils.
