Liverpool watched on as Manchester United signed Nemanja Matic from Chelsea.

Dietmaar Hamann claims that Liverpool have missed a trick by not moving for Nemanja Matic.

Matic left Chelsea to join Manchester United in a £40 million transfer yesterday, as per the Independent, as Jose Mourinho’s side bolstered their midfielder.

And Hamann feels that United have now completed a move which would have been perfect for Liverpool.

Matic should add power and physicality to United’s midfield, and his arrival could free up Paul Pogba in an attacking sense.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are thought to be eager to strengthen their midfield this summer.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are likely to do more business between now and the end of the transfer window, as the German boss looks to improve his options.

Liverpool have spent big on Mohamed Salah this summer, but their other additions appear to be squad players rather than first-team starters.

Liverpool start their campaign in two weekends’ time, when they take on Watford at Vicarage Road.
