Arsenal, Manchester United want Adil Rami?

Manchester United and Arsenal will reportedly battle it out for Valencia defender Adil Rami.

The French defender has been on the radar of the Gunners for a number of months, with United also recently setting their sights on the centre-back, according to The Express.

The 27-year-old is thought to have a release clause of £23m written into his contract, but neither side would be willing to meet that valuation of the player, although both clubs are still hopeful is securing a deal.

Rami was part of the Valencia side that hammered Malaga 5-1 in La Liga on Saturday.
