Rodgers revelling as the jigsaw falling into place

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers had three new faces in the Anfield directors’ box as he watched his side beat Manchester United at Anfield yesterday.

Manchester United supporters, meanwhile, can only hope their new manager is as productive in the hours that remain before the transfer window closes.

Rodgers will today formalise the signings of the three players who were present on a memorable Anfield afternoon — Chelsea forward Victor Moses, Paris Saint Germain defender Mamadou Sakho and Tiago Ilori, the Sporting Lisbon centre-half.
