Manchester United are making a shock move for Lee Grant.
Liverpool fans have regularly expressed frustration at the club’s failure to sign a new goalkeeper to replace Loris Karius so far this summer.
So much so that there was even jealousy when West Ham signed Lukasz Fabianski.
One move from a rival is not causing envy, just mockery.
That is Manchester United’s surprise move for Stoke City veteran Lee Grant.
It seems a peculiar move, but it has some logic, with United wishing to send their talented young back-up goalkeepers out on loan.
Grant would just be third choice and may not ever even play a first team game.
Even so, the move has caused some amusement from rival fans, on the same day it emerged United were set to re-sign much maligned midfielder Marouane Fellaini.
Liverpool fans have not been shy in their derision of their rivals, and are on a high after Jurgen Klopp’s side finally unveiled big money signing Naby Keita.
Here is a look at the reaction on Twitter…
