Liverpool fans plot perfect Dejan Lovren transfer outcome to annoy Man Utd

Dejan Lovren is a better defender than many want to give him credit for, but Liverpool fans haven't been able to see that of late.

That's because the Croatian has been out injured since going off early in the FA Cup third round defeat at Wolves in early January.

There have been a few occasions when it looked as though Lovren was about to return to the Reds fold, only for another niggling injury or illness to rule him out.

And given their challenges in both the Premier League and Champions League, that unreliability is now starting to annoy Reds fans.

So when Mirror Sport confirmed on Wednesday that Lovren is a target for Italian trio Napoli, AC Milan and Roma , some cheeky supporters hatched a plan.

Because given that any potential departure for Lovren would surely mean that a new centre-back would be brought in, why not indulge in a fanciful swap deal?

And not just any old fanciful swap deal, but a fanciful swap deal that includes the centre-back your rivals have been pining for all season.
