Liverpool are already in talks with Wigan Athletic for winger Charles N'Zogbia.
The Sunday Mirror says the Reds have made an inquiry for Wigan's unsettled winger N'Zogbia because they are worried Manchester United will beat them to Aston Villa's Ashley Young.
N'Zogbia is refusing to sign a new deal at the DW Stadium.
Liverpool feel they could land him for less than the Latics' £8m asking price as he has just one year left on his contract.
