Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher can see his old club trumping Manchester United for Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho.
United have been speaking with BVB for months over a deal for the England international, but are unhappy with the Germans' £105m valuation.
And Caarragher told Mirror: "United have got a clear run at Sancho now – but that will change if he's still at Dortmund next year. I'd be very surprised if Liverpool didn't try to sign him next summer.
"That's why I think United will pay what they have got to pay.
"When United have paid big fees for players in the past we've all laughed and said, 'they've been done again'. People called Woodward a joke – selling clubs could always get an extra £10m or £20m from him.
"Now Borussia Dortmund have asked £108m for Sancho. And because United haven't paid it straight away everyone is criticising them.
“Woodward is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't."
