\nManchester United were dominated by Liverpool in their Premier League game on Sunday but took an unlikely lead in the second half only to relinquish it late on.<\/p>\n

Jurgen Klopp’s side had 28 shots as compared to United’s nine and dominated the ball, having 68 percent possession and created chance after chance with Erik ten Hag’s system<\/a> allowing them a free run at goal.<\/p>\n

Individual brilliance<\/a> saw the Red Devils score twice in the second half but the Merseysiders should have scored way more than just two if not for some fine last-ditch defending from young Willy Kambwala.<\/a><\/p>\n

The academy graduate was given his second start in the English top flight and his first at Old Trafford due to the mounting injury crisis at the club.<\/p>\n

Kambwala’s impressive display<\/h5>\n

Prior to the game, both Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans<\/a> joined Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof<\/a> on the sidelines meaning the Dutch boss had no choice but to turn to the 19-year-old.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman impressed with his recovery pace, his fiery tackles and his ability to remain calm under pressure with his manager<\/a> and pundits<\/a> praising him after the game.<\/p>\n

The Peoples Person<\/em> relayed reports that the club was highly impressed with Kambwala and have decided to offer him a new deal<\/a> with his current contract getting over in 2025.<\/p>\n

The former Sochaux academy star is also set to become a regular in the first team moving forward but till the time a new contract is not signed, his future remains the subject of conjecture.<\/p>\n

Dot Sport<\/a> have now reported that Serie A giants Napoli are interested in the centre-back and are looking at him to fill the void left by Kim Min-jae<\/a>, who departed for Bayern Munich last summer.<\/p>\n

Napoli want him<\/h5>\n

Napoli CEO Aurelio de Laurentiis wants to begin negotiations soon after identifying defence as a major area in need of reinforcements.<\/p>\n

“One of the names on De Laurentiis & Co’s list is young Manchester United defender, Willy Kambwala.<\/p>\n

“The Congolese, naturalized Frenchman, convinced everyone, offering a solid and impressive performance against Liverpool which was also noticed by the Azzurri manager who will try to start a negotiation with United.”<\/p>\n

Judging from Kambwala’s enormous potential and the planned defensive overhaul, there is no way INEOS should let the highly-rated youngster leave.<\/p>\n
