Former Manchester United forward Louis Saha has suggested that his old club could make a move for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi, following the collapse of his transfer to Liverpool.

Guehi was on the brink of becoming Liverpool's 11th summer signing until Palace halted the deal at the last minute.

Saha is of the opinion that all predictions about Guehi's future are now up in the air and that the Red Devils could outmanoeuvre their bitter rivals by intercepting any forthcoming deal the England center-back has with Liverpool.

The ex-Fulham forward also believes Guehi would leap at the opportunity to join United.

Saha believes Guehi, who has experience playing in a back three for Palace, could be a crucial addition for Amorim as he seeks to turn around United's flagging fortunes.

Ruben Amorim could swoop for Marc Guehi according to Louis Saha.

There will be only six months left on this contract, there is definitely an opportunity there."

Guehi was understood to be frustrated that his switch to Liverpool failed to come to fruition.

There is now speculation that the Eagles will look to offload Guehi in January as they seek to generate funds for their star player after losing out on the £35 million ($47.5 million) Liverpool would have offered them.

Liverpool had been anticipated to lodge a fresh offer at the beginning of 2026, but it is now understood the Merseyside club will wait patiently as the Reds are convinced Guehi is committed to securing a transfer to Merseyside.

But Guehi is also eligible to enter discussions with foreign clubs from the beginning of next year regarding a pre-contract arrangement

Despite the surprise of his transfer falling through, Guehi appears to have swiftly moved past the disappointment and returned to England's starting XI as the Three Lions thrashed Serbia 5-0 on Tuesday.

He netted the fourth goal in Belgrade as Thomas Tuchel's team moved a step closer to qualifying for next summer's World Cup.

When asked by ITV about how the past eight days had unfolded since his move collapsed, Guehi seemed remarkably positive.

"It's been great," he said
