Burnley whizkid John Cofie wants a move to Liverpool over Manchester United, it has been revealed.
Although Liverpool have won the FA Youth Cup for the past two seasons with a squad made up largely of players brought through their own academy, Rafael Benitez, the manager, has overseen the acquisition of more than 20 teenagers over the past two-and-a-half years, the vast majority of them from overseas.
Indeed, while 15 year-old Cofie is currently on Burnley's books, he was first spotted playing in Germany by manager Steve Cotterill.
