‘Poor’: Liverpool fans want Ben Woodburn to be sold amid reports of Oxford loan

Liverpool teenager Ben Woodburn is set to join Oxford United on loan for the 2019/20 season, according to the Daily Mail.

The forward has not travelled to France with the Liverpool first-team ahead of his loan switch.

Woodburn flopped at Sheffield United last season and another temporary stint beckons.

Oxford are managed by Liverpool-born Karl Robinson and signing Woodburn has to be seen as a coup for his side.

The forward is Liverpool’s youngest ever goalscorer. He netted in a League Cup game against Leeds at the age of 17 years and 45 days; smashing a record held previously by Michael Owen.

Oxford finished 12th in the third tier last term and Robinson will hope Woodburn helps the club progress.

Liverpool fans have been reacting to the news that their young academy graduate could be set for another loan.

Some are unsure whether he will ever be good enough for the Reds first-team.

In fact, the vast majority of tweets from Liverpool supporters appear to want him sold instead.

Plenty don’t feel he will ever make the grade and would rather see him offloaded permanently.

Here is a selection of tweets from Liverpool fans, as Woodburn prepares to head out on loan:
