The 19-year-old has impressed with his displays in the EFL Championship and is reportedly on the radar of the two English giants.
The Red Devils have reportedly sent scouts to monitor the England youth international on three occasions. They are also ready to hijack the Reds in their bid, with the latter having reportedly already agreed a deal for a move in the summer.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider on the matter, Whelan stated that any move by Manchester United would be cheeky. He also suggested that Anfield would be better for Carvalho’s development than Old Trafford. He said:
He added:
Carvalho began his development in the Benfica academy before joining Fulham in 2014. He made his first-team debut for the Cottagers in 2020. He has gone on to make 23 appearances in all competitions for the club, scoring eight goals.
Liverpool and Manchester United reportedly set to go head-on in their quest to sign another bright English prospect
Liverpool and Manchester United are by far the two biggest clubs in England and have a historic rivalry that can match any other derby in club football.
Meanwhile, Carvalho has made a name for himself as one of the brightest sparks in the EFL Championship. Hence, a move to a bigger club could soon be on the cards for the 19-year-old.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have expressed more interest in him. He was also close to joining them in the January transfer window but the deal couldn’t go through.
It remains to be seen whether Manchester United will solidify their interest with a concrete bid. But the summer window could be crucial to Carvalho’s career trajectory.
