Manchester United are reportedly ready to battle Bayern Munich for the signature of RB Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer.
A new midfielder is expected to be one of the priorities for Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford, with Paul Pogba widely expected to leave on a free transfer when his contract expires in the summer.
West Ham United's Declan Rice is thought to be one of the Red Devils' leading targets, but David Moyes's side will supposedly reject all offers for the 23-year-old this summer.
As a result, journalist Nicolo Schira claims that United have now turned their attention to Laimer, who has also attracted glances from Bayern Munich.
The 24-year-old has scored five goals and set up six more in 37 appearances for the Bundesliga side this season but has only started 12 of their top-flight matches.
A 20-cap Austria international, Laimer's contract at Leipzig is due to expire at the end of next season, potentially forcing the German club into a summer sale should a new deal not be agreed.
