Record transfer between Manchester United and Liverpool breaks down


Monday. March 7 – 1949
Johnny Morris, the Manchester United-forward, whom the club had agreed to transfer to Liverpool at a record fee of £25,000, has declined to sign for the Anfield Club. The clubs came to terms last weekend, and Morris went to Liverpool to look at a house, but yesterday he stated that his wife was not keen for him to move to Liverpool.
