Reds' boss Jurgen Klopp is a big fan of the 19-year-old, having received many a glowing report from his former club.

But United are also thought to be ready to mount a challenge for Pulisic, who moved to Dortmund in 2016.

For the American is seen as a highly valuable asset - both in terms of on-field and off-field productivity.

Pulisic made quite a name for himself during the United States' failed World Cup qualifying campaign.

In a recent poll Pulisic won 94 per cent of the vote for US male Player of the Year.

The inside view is that Pulisic could well be the USA’s first soccer megastar - with all the commercial value that will bring.

In that vein United see him as another Paul Pogba.

Pulisic told that regular football is his goal at the moment.
