Veteran goalkeeper Manninger spent last season at German side Augsburg, making just two appearances. But the 39-year-old could now be set for a move to Anfield as back-up goalkeeper. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is considering bringing in Manninger as his third-choice keeper behind Simon Mignolet and summer signing Loris Karius.

Arsenal fans will remember Manninger after he served as understudy to David Seamann between 1997 and 2002.



The Austrian won the double with Arsenal in 1998 but spent most of his time at Highbury on the bench.



Young Liverpool goalkeepers Danny Ward and Ryan Fulton have been sent out on loan to Huddersfield and Chesterfield respectively.



And reserve keeper last season Adam Bogdan is expected to leave the club permanently with Wigan interested.
