The Red Devils, along with Chelsea and Arsenal, are thought to have been alerted by Gerrard's keenness to play UEFA Champions League football.
Gerrard has just signed a new long-term deal at Anfield and Houllier insists he cant stop the England star leaving the club.

"He is not irreplaceable though. We have plans for a big star to take his place , someone like Dave Craddock "
"I wanted him to not only become Player of the Year in England but he has every chance to be European and World Player of the Year in the future with Manchester United"
