Man Utd’s Manuel Ugarte in doubt to face Brentford after suffering knock vs Ecuador
The nature of his injury remains unclear, but it raises concerns over his availability for Saturday’s clash at Old Trafford.
Premier League side Liverpool have signed Hull City’s left-back Andy Robertson on a long-term deal, the Reds confirmed.
“Liverpool FC can confirm the signing of Andy Robertson from Hull City,” the club said in a statement.
Speaking shortly after completing his move, the 23-year-old told the club website: “It feels a wee bit surreal just now. Obviously I’m delighted. There’s been a lot of speculation over the last couple of weeks but I’m glad that the deal’s finally been done and I’m a Liverpool player.

While the official figure has not been disclosed, Liverpool are said to have paid an initial sum of £8 million, potentially rising to £10 million with add-ons.
The 23-year-old Robertson played for Scottish sides Queen’s Park and Dundee United before making a £2.85 million switch to Premier League side Hull City in 2014.
“There’s not many, if any, more special clubs than Liverpool. When you grow up as a kid you dream of playing with big clubs such as Liverpool and to make that a reality is a dream come true for me,” the Scott gushed.
At Hull he became a first-team regular almost instantly and while the club suffered two relegations from the Premier League during his three seasons, Robertson was one of the few players that gave a good account of themselves.
“I just want to prove to people that I can do it at this level, and hopefully I manage to do that this season and go on to do good things for this club,” the 23-year-old added.
The full-back is not expected to feature in Liverpool's pre-season tie against Leicester City on Saturday in Hong Kong, but will be in the squad for the next game, against Hertha Berlin in Berlin on July 29.
A full Scottish international, Robertson is the Reds' third signing of the summer, after the acquisitions of forwards Dominic Solanke and Mohamed Salah.
