The 25-year-old underwent a medical with the Reds after a £35million fee was agreed between the clubs, with a five-year contract drawn up and a deal sheet submitted to the Premier League.

Mainoo, 20, was keen to leave Old Trafford temporarily in search of more regular football, but United boss Ruben Amorim blocked the request and told him to stay and fight for his place.
