Rodgers denies Liverpool wanted Man Utd signing Depay

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers denies they were beaten by Manchester United to the signing of PSV Eindhoven star Memphis Depay.

Rodgers rejected speculation that United beat his side to Depay's signature at a press conference on Friday.

"It was not something that we were interested in," Rodgers said.

"He is a young, talented player but we already have four wingers at the club: Raheem Sterling, Jordon Ibe, Adam Lallana and Lazar Markovic.

"We have other priorities we are looking at through the course of the summer but with the players we have in those positions, particularly on the left side, we are quite well stocked."
