Former Man Utd talent could earn PROMOTION to Liverpool first team after INCREDIBLE performance

A former Manchester United star is certainly making a case for a promotion to Arne Slot's side.

Liverpool's academy has only been utilised briefly so far this campaign. The vast majority of youngsters have been sent on loan for more experience while the likes of Tyler Morton and Trey Nyoni have had limited minutes for the first-team so far.

Naturally Slot has spent his time on Merseyside so far working with the more regular senior players but surely he has kept in touch with Academy Director Alex Inglethorpe on who may be ready to work with the Dutchman.

One youngster's performances in particular will certainly be hard to ignore.

Kieran Morrison gets hat-trick

Liverpool U21's came from a goal down to beat Wolves 4-1 in Premier League 2. Barry Lewtas' side were looking to get back to winning ways after recent defeats to Everton and Hertha BSC at Kirkby.

The win puts them fourth in the PL2 table with Nyoni, Tom Hill and Ranel Young, fresh from his senior call-up against Brighton midweek, were all on the scoresheet.

Kieran Morrison secured a hat-trick of assists for Hill and Young's double, upping his goal contributions to five in 10 appearances in all competitions already this season.

First-team call up imminent?

The Northern Irish youngster is certainly living up to the expectations he set for himself for the U18's last season.

Left-footed and capable of playing on the right-wing, Morrison's ability to cut into the middle from the right is very Mohamed Salah-esque.

Having arrived from Manchester United's academy at U14 level, Morrison is very highly rated by the club's academy staff and has been tipped to go far in the game.

The next step is for him to break into the first team. Under Jurgen Klopp, he already trained with the club's senior squad and if he continues to perform at the level he is doing, surely it won't be long until Slot promotes him to the first team as well.
