A former player from Manchester United has been tagged a “betrayer” as he is poised to finalize a contract agreement and join a rival Premier League club this evening.

Liverpool is poised to fend off competition from other clubs and secure the services of a promising young player.

The club has been experiencing notable achievements with its academy products.

Players such as Conor Bradley and Jarell Quansah have demonstrated this season that with the right skills, transitioning to the Liverpool first team is attainable.

One aspiring player aiming to achieve this in the near future is attacking midfielder Kieran Morrison.

Despite not yet featuring with the first team, the 17-year-old has been performing exceptionally well with the U18s this season. His tally of five goals and three assists in 11 games is quite commendable.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano on X, this impressive performance is leading to Morrison agreeing to a new contract with Liverpool, despite previous interest from other clubs.

“Liverpool talent Kieran Morrison set to sign new three-year deal at the club despite being linked with a move away last summer,” Romano stated.

“The midfielder born in 2006 has verbally agreed to the new contract, and the formalities are expected to be finalized soon.”

The prospect of Morrison securing a new deal suggests that Liverpool sees great promise in his abilities. Although he hasn’t garnered much attention for the first team yet and hasn’t been called up to train under Jurgen Klopp, his potential appears to be recognized within the club.

However, if he continues to perform at his current level, it’s possible that he could soon earn that recognition.

According to his player profile on liverpoolfc.com, Morrison has a background in the Manchester United youth team. Described as a “creative and attacking central midfield player,” he was part of United’s setup up to U14 level.

Afterward, Liverpool managed to acquire him, and Morrison has been steadily progressing through the ranks ever since.

Having just turned 17 in November, the ex-Manchester United prospect has already made appearances with the U21s this season, indicating his potential.

Despite interest from other clubs, Liverpool may have provided assurances to Morrison regarding his future development.

Considering the current trajectory of the season, it appears improbable that Morrison will receive an opportunity with the senior squad this season.

However, with a new manager expected in 2024/25, Morrison could emerge as one to watch closely.
