“Kerkez will be difficult because I can see Liverpool making a move for him after Richard Hughes joined as a Sporting Director, but I think he would suit Manchester United as well.
“Davis would be gettable from Ipswich. He’s been really impressive for them this season and he’d give Man United balance going forward on the left-hand side, so he’s another option to consider.”
