Liverpool and Manchester United are long term rivals, but the latter could unwittingly assist the Merseysiders with one of their transfer targetsIf Manchester United decide to part with Ruben Amorim and appoint Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, they could inadvertently aid Liverpool's pursuit of Marc Guehi. Glasner, 51, recently handed Arne Slot his first defeat of the season after Palace clinched a 2-1 victory with goals from Ismaila Sarr and Eddie Nketiah, either side of Federico Chiesa's equaliser.With Palace sitting pretty in second place and maintaining an unbeaten start to the new campaign, Glasner's reputation is on the rise.

If United were to secure Glasner, it could speed up Guehi's departure from Selhurst Park, much to Liverpool's advantage.Liverpool are understood to be keen on signing Guehi next summer when he will be available as a free agent.

The England international is reportedly still eager for a move to Anfield, despite a transfer deadline day deal to the Reds falling through at the last minute.Whilst there's been scant suggestion Guehi might reverse his stance and pen fresh terms at Selhurst Park, Glasner's departure during this season or when his own deal expires next summer would most likely kill off any slim chance of him staying in south London.Palace are presently enjoying a stunning campaign, climbing to second spot in the Premier League. Whilst some might have expected the injury to trigger a January pursuit of Guehi, the Dutchman insisted it won't alter Liverpool's winter transfer window strategy, unless further injuries occur.He said: "That all depends on whether we get more injuries, yes or no, and if there's a chance in the market - all the answers I always give.
