Liverpool 'beating Manchester United in Adam Lallana race'

Liverpool are reportedly set to edge out Manchester United in the race to sign Southampton star Adam Lallana this summer.

Lallana's displays for the Saints have not only earned him a breakthrough into the England team, but have also seen the 25-year-old attract interest from a number of high-profile clubs.

However, The People claims that Premier League leaders have put forward an offer that would see the midfielder pocket £50,000 per week if he moves to Anfield.

United are keen to sign Lallana and left-back Luke Shaw, with whom they have been heavily linked, as they begin an expected rebuilding of their squad at the end of the season.

Lallana featured in Southampton's 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday.
