Now plying his trade alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, Mane would still have plenty to offer at United if he can be tempted to reunite with Edwards at Old Trafford. However, his status as a Liverpool hero could prove to be an issue when it comes to potentially joining his former club's arch rivals.

Dominic Solanke United are desperate for some extra firepower in front of goal after scoring just 13 times in 12 league matches so far this season. Edwards could look to land Solanke as a potential stop-gap solution in January, with the former Reds man having netted seven times in all competitions for Bournemouth.

Marko Grujic Grujic never made the grade at Anfield but has developed into a handy midfielder since joining Porto on a permanent basis three years ago. He missed a large chunk of games earlier this season due to an injury but has since recovered and will be looking to feature on a regular basis from now on.

The 27-year-old is another player Edwards knows well and has already been linked with United, who were credited with an interest in him over the summer. They made an initial approach for his signature back in March, according to Telegraf, but it was said that his Liverpool connections would make it difficult for the Red Devils to convince him to join their ranks.
